Cream butter; gradually add 1 c sugar, and beat until light. Add fruit rinds, and eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each. Add sifted dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk, beating after each addition until smooth. Fold in nuts. Pour into greased 9" or 10" 2-quart tube pan. Bake in moderate oven, 350ºF., about one hour. Strain fruit juices into saucepan. Add remaining 1 c sugar and rum; bring to a boil. Remove cake from oven, and pour syrup slowly over cake in pan. If all the liquid is not absorbed, pour remainder on later. (This is a moist cake, so it must be eaten with a fork.)
