Taking this to my fern clubs Christmas party tonight. Was a big hit during the summer and I have had many requests from the membership to bring one.
This recipe for rum cake is so easy and can be dressed up by the addition of fruit placed into the middle of the cake for decoration. Pecans make a nice addition, placed in the pan before the batter is poured in.
1 package of yellow cake mix
1 pkg instant vanilla pudding mix
4 eggs
1/2 cup of oil
1 tablespoon of vanilla
1/4 cup water and 3/4 cup Myers's Original Dark Rum
1/4 cup of demarara sugar
1/4 cup of butter
1/4 cup of water
1 cup Myers's Original Dark Rum
Mix first 6 ingredients & pour into a well greased Bundt pan. Bake 50 minutes @ 325 deg, or until a knife comes out clean. To glaze, heat remainder of ingredients except rum, to dissolve sugar. Allow to cool, then add rum just before glazing.
To glaze the cake in the pan, poke holes in bottom, then pour glaze on. Or turn the cake out, poke holes, & pour glaze.
