I have made this cake for years. I use coconut pudding mix and coconut rum.
I have also tried it with Captain Morgans Spiced Rum and it was very good.

My favorite cake is a similiar rum cake, but made with rum extract, instead of rum liguor. That recipe is on the back of the rum extract bottle's box. I am excited to try this version, with real rum. I will pobably use Myer's rum. Those who don't like a liquor taste may want to try the extract version. I use Pam for baking, and my bundt cake's never stick. I love the way Jennifer put holes in the bottom, as well as the top. Also, I have found that I don't like the way the chopped pecans tend to look charred, when baked in the pan, and sink into the cake. So, I put the holes in the top, pour on the glaze, add the chopped pecans, and add more glaze...much prettier, and the pecans hide the holes. I, also, put pecans in the middle of the cake, but I put them there before pouring on the glaze, to fully glaze the pecans. I was happy to see this episode, and don't really care if Jennifer borrowed the recipe, dreamt it, or had it handed from her mother. Thanks Jennifer and Sandra

Outstanding recipe! Very easy. I found it very tasty when cooking it in a 9 x 13 glass bakingware. Also, after coating the pan with butter, I finely chopped pecans all on the bottom of the pan. Here, you have a pecan crust at the bottom of the cake. I have done this twice with rave reviews. Overall, you can't go wrong with this recipe.

I just finished making this cake, I have to say that the rum flavor was just a little overpowering for me. Thanks to those of you who posted some helpful hints on using other liquids to substitute for the rum. I may cut it in half and use pineapple juice.

I love this recipe! However, I use Prichard's Fine Rum. I don't dislike Bacardi Gold, but I find that Prichard's gives it a smoother flavor (and I support any rum produced in Tennessee!

This is an old recipe. I made this cake once over 15 years ago. Except for adding the glaze to the top AND bottom of the cake, along with the pecans in the middle the cake recipe is exactly the same. I actually love the idea of adding the rum glaze to the top and the bottom, which I believe will give the cake a more richer favor. I have not tired the recipe again yet, but plan to do so . I loved it then, but with the new changes I believe I will love it even more. It's possible the recipe came from Jennifer's mom. Has no one here ever had an idea that someone else came up with. I have. It is a basic Rum cake recipe that anyone could have come up with, especially since it is semi-homemade. Give the woman a break people. You just might be mistaken. Lighten up. Are we really going to cry foul over something so minor. Let's make a positive impact with the life we are given. Shalom!

This is a perfect cake for almost any occasion. I also recommend Duncan Hines cake mix. I can remember when almost every party or social event included this cake. What an easy cake to make with such a delicious finished product. Another good thing is you can vary the cake mix and liquor and create a completely different dessert. My daughter is in college and when she needed an easy but impressive dessert she gave me a call asking for this recipe. By the way there are other recipes floating around, but this is the original Bacardi recipe!

My family are not much on cakes but this cake they ALL agreed was wonderful. This was my father;s day dessert. I used a pillsbury cake mix made with Splenda and it turned out just as the recipe predictated. I also added 1 cup of mashed sweet potato to it. Moist and delicious. I will definetely make this again. Thanks
