RUM CAKE 
1 box Duncan Hines yellow cake mix (without pudding)
1/2 c. rum
1/2 c. water
1 sm. box instant vanilla pudding
1/2 c. oil
4 eggs

Grease and flour bundt pan. Mix cake mix and pudding. Add rum, water, and oil. Add eggs, one at a time. Beat well. Bake at 325 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes. Let cake cool but leave in pan until sauce has been poured over cake.

SAUCE:

1/2 c. butter
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. water
1/4 c. rum

Bring butter, sugar, and water to a boil; cool. Add rum and stir. Poke holes in cake with ice pick or kabob skewer and pour sauce over cake. Turn out of pan when completely cooled. Use the Chinet HEAVY paper plate or the Hefty brand styrofoam plate for good firm support of the cake before wrapping securely with clear plastic wrap. Tie decoratively with red, green, or white ribbon.

(Make this recipe twice so that you have 2 bundt cakes.)
