This cake is very moist and delicious! I didn't have dark rum. I used spiced rum instead and it turned out great. I also didn't use the pecans because of co-workers allergic reaction to nuts. They all loved this cake.

As any chef knows, a recipe can be created by them or a person on their staff, but no recipe can be calmed as solely "theirs" without a patent. It takes changing 1 ingredient to no longer make it theirs and chefs are know to "change up" recipes all the time to fit their mood or restaurant. Chefs are always learning new techq's, methods, recipes, and formulas (term used in baking, so it would be a small culinary world if we did not share. Did Bacardi have a patent on this cake?

Have you every asked a restaurant for the "recipe" and were declinded? They know by giving you their secret sauce, method, etc., , profits go away and the restaurant closes or, in fact, it does have a patent (Chili's, Appleby, Red Robin, etc. They don't give it away because it is soley theirs.

Please note that the recipe was "COURTESY" of Jennifer.

I've had this recipe for over 19 years. There are several of variations and they all turn out great! A great recipe travels. I could care less where it came from. I'm just happy I was lucky enough to receive it. Comes out moist every time and never looks or tastes "Semi-Homemade". Bravo!!!!!

I made this for Thanksgiving for a dinner I attended, but since I'm not a rum fan, I substituted bourbon (I used Virginia Gentleman, which is hard to find outside Virginia, and it was marvelous! I made it a couple of days ahead of time then made some more glaze the day of the dinner.

In the directions for the glaze there's an unfinished sentence..."should make approx". Does anyone know the amount there should be?

OK...my husband asked me to make him a Rum Cake for the upcoming holidays, so I naturally searched Food Network.com because they have never let me down. After reading the reviews, I also searched the web for "Bacardi Rum Cake," and yes, this is the same recipe. Who cares? Sandra Lee always cooks semi-homade and likes to use alcohol. So why is everyone so upset? I do have to say my husband was very happy when he came home and smelled the wonderful aroma from this cake in our house! I can't wait to make another Rum Cake for our friends! Happy Holidays!!!

Stephen, as far as your cake sticking try Wilton cake release. Best baking tool ever, especially with ornate pans. Since I found this I wouldn't use anything else. Use a vanilla cake mix and vanilla rum, your friend will beg for you to make them this cake again.

I don't care where this originated from, it is absolutely out of this world!!! And, I've busted other FN cooks on recipes that come from somwhere else. It kind of bugs me, but when they are great I forget all about it. And this is one of those times. Believe me, this is what the clouds in heaven are made of. When I saw the servings (8, I thought no way, that's not enough from a bundt cake. Well, you may as well cut it in half and in half again and call it four servings cause that's what you'll end up eating. It is moist, flavorful, and melts in your mouth. I also boiled the rum first to get the alcohol out and it made no difference to the outcome of the glaze. I sprayed the heck out of the pan and it popped right out. I had all ingred. ready ahead of time and it took me about five minutes to throw together. I bake a lot usually all from scratch, but with this cake, why bother! Sandra my dear, is there a reason why you have to add alcohol to just about everything you make??? Some of us have kids we're cooking for. Fortunately if your creative you can substitute, but I wouldn't touch this one!
