cake
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 10″ fluted cake pan or a 9″ springform pan.
2. Beat together the cake mix, eggs, vanilla pudding mix, water, oil and 1/2 cup of rum. Pour into cake pan.
3. Bake for 1 hour. Let the cake cool, then invert it onto a plate/cake stand. Poke holes along the top with a knife, this will help the glaze soak through.
