Rum cake is big in the South. I guess it’s a great way of boozing it up without really drinking. When I was growing up, my relatives made it all the time. You actually make it from a mix, but the trick seems to be not using an electric mixer. Use a fork instead. I absolutely don’t know why.

Rum Cake

1 “super moist” yellow cake mix

4 eggs

¾ cup water

2 TB run

1 box of instant vanilla pudding mix

2/3 cup vegetable or canola oil

½ tsp vanilla

Mix all the ingredients with a fork. Pour into a greased and floured bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes. Let cool about 20 minutes. Remove from pan. Pour on glaze while cake is still warm.

Rum Cake Glaze

Bring ½ cup water, 1 cup sugar. 1 tsp vanilla and 2 TB dark rum (I’ve used light) to a boil.
