Ingredients
Cake Ingredients
- 1 (18.25 oz.) package yellow cake mix
- 1 (3.4 oz.) package vanilla (or French vanilla) instant pudding mix
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup rum
- 1/2 cup melted butter

Glaze ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup rum
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Liberally grease (either way cooking spray or butter) a bundt pan, and then pour sugar into it and swirl around until the entire inside of the pan is coated in sugar. (Discard any remaining sugar.)
- In a large bowl, combine cake mix and pudding mix. Mix in the eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup melted butter and 1/2 cup rum. Blend well. Pour batter into pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.

Glaze directions
In a saucepan, combine butter, 1/4 cup water and 1 cup sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat and continue to boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup rum.
