Rum Cake Using Yellow Cake Mix Recipe

Hey..great recipe!!

Great! Will try Pecan for sure.

If you can get pecans try them in place of walnuts. The original recipe called for pecans. The glaze simply makes the cake. Bianca posted the complete recipe above. Enjoy! I have had Old Monk in Delhi with friends and it is terrific. There is another rum I have had in Kerela that was quite nice, but am not sure of the label. My friends in Kochi do get many imported alcohol so it could have been from elsewhere. A "boat shop" or something. Shanti/Mary-Anne

Old Monk is a good rum! I think there is a dark variety which is the one to use for this cke. Enjoy-everyone always loves it and it is so easy! The house will smell amazing as it is cooking. Shanti/Mary-Anne

Nice!!I sure will try a Bacardi Rum Cake because I have always used an Old Monk(an Indian brand). Thanks!

Only rum tastes like rum, and Bacardi Dark rum is the best! The rum alcohol cooks out of the cake, now the glaze if you were to cook for a while then no alcohol but just the awesome rum flavour. I made this Bacardi Rum Cake with pecans and Bacardi Dark Rum on Sunday for my grandson Marko's party-this was the adult cake He and everyone also enjoyed a huge cocolate cake and a Blueberry Dump Cake plus ice cream. The rest of the food was crazy good-barbecued ribs, sarma, sushi, Russian Salad, dried and smoked Bosnian pork and beef, smoked salmon, artichoke dip, caesar salad, and on and on tables of foods all day long.

O well, is it necessary to add rum to rum cake? Is there a non-alcoholic version of this rum cake recipe with some kind of pseudo rum? Sorry if it sounds absurd. I am trying to enjoy the taste without using alcohol :)

The dark Bacardi Rum flavour is quite special, why pecans because they taste amazing with the rum. This cake is baked in a bundt cake the more interesting shapes the better. The glaze needs to be poured over the cake, and re-spooned over so it is absorbed into the cake. Tip you pierce the cooled cake all over with a wooden thin skewer or a metal cake tester this allows the rum to be better absorbed. Have you ever used the Bacardi dark rum for this particular cake? It does matter as to brand-big time. Shanti/Mary-Anne

Try it with pecans instead of walnuts-perfection of flavour! And it MUST be Bacardi Brand dark rum don't cheat on that! Oh and a little over rocks or in tea while you make the cake works. Shanti/Mary-Anne

Alright, I am sold. I will try the rum cake ...albeit from the mix !:-D

Bacardi Rum cake is one of my favorites. Here is a recipe that I found on buzzle.com some time ago and have tried a few times. The cake comes out great. Perhaps, I will take a picture next time and post this as a separate rum cake recipe but in the meantime, here it is: ---------------- Ingredients For the cake 1 cup chopped walnuts Jell-o instant vanilla pudding - 4 serving pack 1 eighteen ounce box yellow cake mix (This should be the cake mix with no 'pudding' in it) 4 eggs 1/2 cup cold water 1/2 cup oil - vegetable or corn 1/2 cup dark Bacardi rum (This is most important and makes this cake absolutely YUMM!!) For the glaze 1/2 cup butter - i prefer to substitute with a low fat substitute (margarine) 1 cup sugar 1/4 cup water 1/2 cup dark Bacardi rum (More Rum, yeahhh!!) Directions Mix all the other ingredients of the cake and mix in blender for couple of minutes. Do not mix the walnuts yet. Pre heat the oven to about 350 degrees. While the oven is heating up, Grease a bundt pan, place the walnuts at the bottom of pan, and Pour the blended cake mixture over this. When the oven is ready, bake the cake for about an hour. Prepare the glaze in the meantime. Take a pan and place on medium heat. Put in and melt the margarine. Put in the water and sugar. Allow to boil till sugar melts. Turn off the heat and stir in the rum. Once cake is ready, pierce the entire cake using a fork. Make sure you do this gently or else the cake would shred to pieces. Keep the cake on a big plate and pour the warm glaze slowly over it, allowing it to seep into the cake. Let the cake stand for at least a couple of hours. There is no need to refrigerate this cake, but it will taste better chilled. You can try using different rums for the cake and the glaze. -----------------

There is a wonderful Bacardi Rum cake that uses a yellow cake mix, pudding mix, and YES rum in the cake and in the glaze-awesome-everyone loves it! It is from the 60's or 70's. Shanti/Mary-Anne
