    My family & I really enjoyed consuming this cake. It went fast, too! I used the cake mix with the pudding so I didn't add extra pudding. It was perfectly moist. I also added an extra tbsp of rum to the glaze. Try it!!

    My husband and I absolutely LOVED this recipe. Tastes just like what we grew up with. The icing is a little challenging to get just right, but other than that....Delicious. We make it for all our guests, and they beg to take some home every time. So Good!!! Also, it is a half cup of each like it says....not divided among the three ingredients.

    The Recipe is very easy, and it tastes quite good. I didn't follow it exactly as I didn't have everything on hand, and at 3am I wouldn't have been able to get them. I used chocolate pudding in place of vanilla, and cocnut rum in place of dark rum. Also I added Shredded coconut to the mixture, it helped to bring out the coconut flavor of the rum. Over all it was pretty good. My first shot at rum cake!
