RUM CAKE 
CAKE:

1 box butter pecan cake mix
1 sm. box instant vanilla pudding
1/2 c. salad oil
5 eggs
1/2 c. white rum
1/2 c. water

Combine cake mix, pudding, oil, rum, eggs and water. Do not overmix. Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes at 300 degrees. When cake is done, poke holes in it with a large fork (meat fork is great). Pour sauce over cake while still in the pan. Loosen sides of cake so sauce will cover. Cool and remove from pan.

SAUCE:

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

Boil rum and water and sugar for 5 minutes. Add butter, stirring until melted. Pour over cake. Do not overcook (I like 4 minutes).
