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.

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

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.

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.

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!
