Does anyone have a great rum cake recipe?

[julia]

I am looking for a moist rum cake recipe, but not the one with a cake mix.

There useto be a great Rum cake at a bakery near me, called Sarnos, but they went out of business.

It was real heavy, but a lot of people would order that cake in particular for birthdays. boy I sure wish I had that recipe.

I usually make cakes from scratch but this cake using a mix gets rave reviews.

I've been making this cake for years. It's always a hit!

May I see what your cake/recipe looks like?

Hi oli! I use the same recipe as Sylvia's link, except I use warm water instead of cold milk.

Also, for the glaze, I use;

1/2 cube butter or margarine
1/8 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup Bicardi dark rum

Melt the margarine in a sauce pan-stir in the water and sugar-Boil 5 minutes stirring constantly-Remove from the heat-Stir in the rum.
