I'd like to make several.... love the rum gig... how about Frangelica... thanks everyone! Please share if there are any other important things for me to keep in mind when cooking?

I use light rum and only one small pkg. of pudding. It really soaks up the liquid then. My husband's favorite cake.

I use the Bacardi Recipe for Rum Cake: make mine with Spice Cake Mix. Also, who needs water? I use the Dark Rum as stated and also substitute Dark Rum for the amount of water for the recipe. Makes a killer rum cake. Rich and tasty: will have to try it with Spiced Rum. (Not for a child's birthday party!)

I've made this cake 2 ways. Traditional Bundy. And as a layer cake with a rum butterflies.

Never seen this posted, but after my Rum cake cools for about 15 minutes, I make my glaze and pour it in the pan and let the cake just soak up all that glaze.

I have made this recipe many times over the years I used Captain Morgan's spiced rum also. There is never any left - its always a big hit.

I make this every Christmas for my father-in-law, using sugar free chocolate cake mix and pudding and Captain Morgan spiced rum. For the glaze, I use sugar free frosting from a can mixed with rum. Everybody loves it!

I baked this cake and found it easy to make, it turned out wonderful, I will bake this cake again.

I've made this for years using triple chocolate cake and chocolate pudding. Also use only all rum in place of water. Delicious!

My BEST friend Kevin gave me this recipe many years ago. My daughter is not fond of sweets, but loves this cake. I make it every year for her birthdays (best if made the day before). Thank you Bacardi and Kevin!!

I make this cake during the holiday. Its always a hit. After baking the cake and preparing the glaze. I add some extra rum on the bottom of a tin pan, lay the cake in the pan, then pour the glaze over the cake and place a lid over the pan. The cake absorbs all the glaze and it remains moist for a longer period of time. I repeat this process for three days until I get ready to serve the cake.

I have been making this cake for over 15 years. A couple of years ago I noticed that it was not coming out the same as in the past. It tasted fine but just did not look right . Well the problem is that they have reduced the size of the cake mix and it is smaller. The recipe was written for when the mix was in a larger quantity. To solve the problem I added an additional 1/3 cup of cake mix.

I make this cake every Christmas, for every family gathering and party and it is always a hit! I now make it with butter pecan cake mix and butterscotch pudding, and it is to die for! You cannot go wrong with this cake.

Cake mix now comes in a 15.2 oz box. Guess I'll have to buy another box of cake mix and add about 4 oz.

I make this cake almost every New Year's. It's delicious! One year, my father-in-law told me (out of ear shot of my MIL and dtr.) that it was the best cake he ever ate. I always think of him when I make it.
