Rum Cake

After making this cake for over a dozen times, I decided to record the recipe, more for my own records than anything else.
What you need:

  1. Yellow cake mix
  2. Vanilla pudding mix
  3. 4 eggs
  4. 1/4 cup oil
  5. 1/2 cup milk
  6. 1/2 cup rum
  7. Bundt cake pan

Sift the cake mix and pudding mix well together. Mix the eggs, oil, milk and rum into it and mix at a medium speed for 5 minutes at least.

Oil and flour the cake pan and shake it upseid down to remove any excess flour. Pour the cake mix into the pan. Bake it at 325 degrees for 60 minutes. The cake should be a nice light golden color.

What you need for the glaze:

  1. 1 cup sugar
  2. 1/2 cup rum
  3. 1/2 cup butter
  4. 1/4 cup water

Put all ingredients in a small saucepan and heat it over low heat, stirring constantly. It should be just a little syrupy when done.

Poke holes in the cake, as many as you can without breaking the cake :-) Pour the glaze all over the cake. Don't worry if there's too much, the cake will soak it up. Let it sit for a while to soak up all the glaze, then invert it onto a cake dish and serve.
