Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Generously grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
4
In a separate bowl, mix the evaporated milk, regular milk, melted unsalted butter (cooled slightly), large eggs, dark rum, and vanilla extract until smooth.
5
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, using a wooden spoon to stir until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
