A year ago, at this time, I was looking for something different to make for a friend and I found this recipe. I started with one cake and ended with eight. This year it is my gift to all my dear friends. My "secret ingredient" is actually a silicon bunt pan. ( I now own 3) Once the cake comes out and cools a bit, pour the glaze on and go to bed. In the morning peel the glaze soaked cake easily out of the pan, wrap tightly and refrigerate for a couple of days to "cure". Put it on a pretty plate, and if you have the energy drizzle it with some melted chocolate. I use dark rum in the glaze because my friends are so spirited. :)

There's no mistaking this for a scratch cake. It's so obviously a boxed mix even with the rum. If you want an authentic fresh tasting rum cake try the Brown Sugar Rum Cake instead.

I've made this recipe twice for guests...they love it! It seems the glaze is a little thin, so the second time I made it I reduced the water to half the amount. I've found that dark rum works as well as white rum.

Good, but a bit strongly flavored. The glaze was quite grainy and sweet.

This cake is FANTASTIC! After visiting Grand Cayman on our honeymoon, my husband got hooked on the popular rum cakes they sell there made with local rum. I wanted a recipe that recreated that cake, and this is it! In fact, this cake is even better! My hubby and neighbor raved! Regarding the glaze, it's not supposed to be white, thick, or sugary like icing. It's supposed to soak into the cake to give it that buttery rum flavor. I used gold Tortuga rum and would recommend gold over white because it typically has more flavor. Next time, I will let the glaze soak in longer than 30 min. One side of the cake stuck to the pan, I think because it was still too wet where the glaze ran down the side of the pan. Needs more time to absorb into the cake.

This cake is very easy to make, and pretty good. It does need some flavor, and could use some ideas added to the recipe. I do recommend pouring half of the glaze into the pan first, and the other half later. The cake does taste good, and if you have already made a rum cake, and have special ingredients, try this quick and easy version!

This makes a large, beautiful and delicious cake. I highly recommend it. Very moist and high in flavor. I used chopped salted mixed nuts in the bottom of the pan.

This was a great cake, I was the hit of the christmas party for making it... :) Delicious, chocolatey, moist, and the rum!!! yum!!!! the only problem i found was with the glaze, not sure if i did it wrong or what, but I expected a white looking sugary glaze, all i got was a clear glaze that soaked right into the cake... Otherwise delicious!!!!!!!!

Instead of making rum balls for Christmas dessert, I made this cake. It was a hit-very easy to make, very moist and chocolately with delicious rum flavor! I made the cake about 4 or 5 hours prior to serving it, so the rum glaze had plenty of time to absorb while the cake cooled upside down the entire time, which may have allowed the glaze to be better distributed and absorbed throughout the cake without leaving a grainy effect that another had noticed. Since I made my cake ahead of time, I simply warmed each cut slice in the microwave prior to serving, coupled by a scoop of brandy ice cream. Yum! Am making tonight to take to a dinner party with friends! I added a bit more rum to both the cake mix (reducing the water ingredient) and to the glaze mix for stronger rum flavor.
