1 yellow cake mix
1 sm. pkg. French vanilla instant pudding
4 eggs
1 c. sour cream
1 tsp. rum flavoring
1/2 c. oil
1/2 c. water
1 sm. can poppy seeds

Canned evaporated milk can be used. Use 1 cup milk with 3 tablespoons white vinegar.

Beat all ingredients together for 5 minutes. Pour into well-greased and floured bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees until done, approximately 45 minutes. Cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Turn onto cake plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar while cake is warm.

NOTE: For Cherry Chocolate Cake, add all ingredients except poppy seeds and use chocolate cake mix and pudding. Use 1 can cherry pie filling. Mix cake. Pour into bundt pan and very carefully drop cherries on batter. Reserve the fluid from the pie filling to use for topping on cake. This recipe can be varied by also using apple pie filling with the yellow cake mix and leaving out the poppy seeds, thus an apple-filled bundt cake.
