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

This was delicious! As is her Malibu Rum cake. I like that there is a generous amount of rum in both the cake and the glaze. Some people arrange marachino cherries in with the pecans to give it a little color! And i appreciate the modification one reviewer suggested for using coconut pudding! Yum!

I like this cake, but did not have the expensive rum, substituted rum flavoring and found that the
same recipe is on the box of rum flavoring and still tastes great. Use a teaspoon of flavor instead
of 1/2 cup of regular rum.

There are some cakes made with boxed cake mixes that taste made from scratch. This one is not one of them. It tastes like what it is...a boxed cake mix with some extra stuff thrown on top. And the rum "glaze" definitely needs to be cooked, as it totally overpowered the cake itself, rather than augment it. To those reviewers who were confused about the boxed pudding weight, read the ingredient list again and you will see that it calls for sugar free vanilla pudding, which is the 1 ounce box. No doubt this recipe originated from Bacardi, as it uses an entire cupful of rum. I really don't care about the origin of the recipe; eat enough of this cake, and you won't either. ;

I made this cake for the first time today and it is delicious. I did wonder why the vanilla pudding mix measurement only says 1 ounce when the box is actually 3.4 oz and you have to use the whole box, not just 1 oz. Also, directions for glaze say it "should make approx."...... The sentence is incomplete but I found it to make approx. 1-1/2 cups. The recipe says "cake is best if left at room temperature". That is really unsafe with 4 eggs in it, so I refrigerated it after 2 hrs. Don't need paper towels for glaze runover as it will go on serving plate and be fine.

I love this recipe. I make this same cake every New Year's Eve from a recipe card I found in an old recipe box I bought at a garage sale, but I lost the card and didn't make the cake this past year and everybody complained. Luckily I found it here. The party is on!!!!

Very simple & delicious! I prefer it more rum soaked so I made extra glaze with the remainder of the rum. YUMMY!

I really don't know where I got this recipe, however I have been making this cake every Christmas for my family and friends for well over ten years. I bake it in foil loaf pans, batter makes two perfect, and give them away. I subtitute applesause for the oil sometimes and it is still very rich.
