Lovely Rum Cake

              Rum Cake
(The first time I had this cake, my roommate, Teresa Harris,  German mother made for us. It's a lovely cake with a dusting of powder sugar and a nice soft texture  I fell in love with it and just being a simple cake can go with so many things- I have added extra at the bottom if you want a glaze to it- remember the alcohol burns out when the cake is cooked.)


Cake:  1 pkg. yellow cake mix
2 (3 3/4oz) pkgs  vanilla cook and serve pudding (put in as a powder)
4 eggs
1/2 c. oil
1/2 c. Baccardi dark rum
1/2 c. water

Preheat oven to 325 F.  Grease and flour Bundt pan.  Mix all cake ingredients together.  Pour in pan.  Bake 1 hour (my pan is dark and heavy, it only took 50 min.  so watch it) use toothpick to see if its ready.  Cool,  turn cake onto rack or plate.  Sift powder sugar on top.

If you prefer the glaze:
(if you want more on top of cake)
1/2 c. butter
1/4 c. water
1/4 c. rum
1/4 c. sugar - boil 3 min. pour over hot cake.  

For more fun : 
on bottom of pan put 1/2 c. coconut, chopped walnuts and let set 1 hour before removing cake from pan.
