I have several (no huge surprise, there is more than one rum cake lover in my life):

If you want a chocolate rum cake, this one is good(scroll down, there are several recipes in the post):

This next one was recommended to me by another poster here, and it's good.

This last one though is a family recipe and everyone's favourite. It has been described as having a plush, bakery-like texture.

1 c. chopped pecans

1/2 c. cooking oil

1 box yellow cake mix

1/2 c. amber rum

3 packages vanilla instant pudding (small)

1/4 c. butter

1/4 c. water

4 eggs

1/2 c. milk

1 c. sugar

1/2 c rum


Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10 inch tube (angel food) pan. Sprinkle nuts over bottom of pan.

Mix cake with pudding milk, oil, eggs and 1/2 cup rum until smooth. Pour batter over nuts in pan. Bake for 1 hour,

While baking melt butter in a saucepan. Stir in water and sugar, boil 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining rum.

When cake comes out of oven, poke holes into cake with a skewer.

Pour rum syrup over cake. Let cool. Remove cake from pan.

Serve with whipped cream and fresh fruit of choice.

Happy baking,

Cake Lady
