MOM'S FAMOUS RUM CAKE
This classic rum cake recipe, built around a yellow cake mix, is a favorite of mushers and snowmobilers passing through the village of Tanana, Alaska, in the wintertime. It's hard to mess up, comes together quickly, fills out a (prepared) Bundt pan reliably and can be made on a whim with ingredients from the pantry. It travels well; keeps, covered, for several days; and pairs nicely with coffee and cold weather.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch Bundt cake pan, scatter the nuts evenly into the bottom of the pan, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water, oil and rum. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the thickest part of the cake comes out with just a few crumbs attached.
- While the cake bakes, make the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, rum and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
- When the cake is done, remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Using a skewer or a fork, poke holes all over the top and sides of the cake, then brush the entire cake with the glaze, repeating until all the glaze is gone. Serve warm or at room temperature. Cake keeps (and improves, some say), wrapped and refrigerated, up to 3 days.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour one 10 inch tube pan.
- Combine cake mix and pudding mix.
- In another bowl beat eggs, water, oil and rum until frothy. Add cake mix/pudding mixture and beat until well mixed. Spread pecans evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan and pour batter over pecans.
- Bake cake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out dry when inserted in the center. Allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes and remove from pan. Place in serving dish immediately, right side up. (Pecans should be on the bottom)
- To Make Glaze: During the last 15 to 20 minutes of baking time, combine butter or margarine, water and sugar in a sauce pan and bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and boil rapidly until it's very thick and syrupy stirring very frequently. The syrup must be reduced quite a bit and very thick otherwise it will make the cake mushy. Remove from heat and add rum. While cake is still hot, poke holes all over top of cake with a toothpick and spoon glaze over top of cake. Allow cake to sit at room temperature for one day then refrigerate.

MOM'S RUM CAKE
Mom made this cake for years, especially for bake sales. She dressed it up so nice with her rum glaze and maraschino cherries. She says don't be shy with the rum glaze, generously pricking with cooking fork and saturating with turkey baster! What can I tell you? Mom's Rum Cake was the first to go at bake sales. Wonder if the secret to her 88 years is rum. See Mom's Mincemeat Pie recipe. No matter what, mom always baked like she wrapped gifts--with tender, loving care.

Steps:
- Utilizing the water, vegetable oil and eggs, prepare cake in 2 eight, or 2 nine inch, cake pans according to package directions. Completely cool on wire racks.
- Prepare the rum syrup by placing the water and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Cool and stir in the rum.
- In a bowl, stir dry pudding mix into crushed pineapple and its juice. Gently fold Cool Whip into the pineapple mixture with a rubber spatula.
- Use a long serrated knife to cut the cake layer into two horizontal layers and moisten both sides with up to one half of the rum syrup. Spread the layers with a thin layer of the apricot preserves.
- Reassemble the two cut layers and place them on a cake plate. Top with 1 cup of the frosting.
- Repeat the rum syrup and apricot preserve process with the second cut cake layer and place it on top of the frosted bottom layer. Frost sides of cake lightly then top cake with remaining frosting mixture.
- If desired, garnish cake with pineapple slices or chunks and maraschino cherries taking care to drain them and dry them off on paper towels before adding them to the cake.
- Chill until serving time and store leftovers in refrigerator.

Tips:
- Start with a good rum. The quality of the rum you use will greatly impact the flavor of the cake. Choose a dark rum with a smooth, rich flavor, such as Myers's or Bacardi Black. If you want to use a light rum, be sure to adjust the amount of sugar in the recipe.
- Use fresh ingredients. The fresher your ingredients are, the better your cake will taste. Use real butter, not margarine, and use fresh eggs and milk. If you can, use homemade jam or fruit preserves instead of store-bought.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Bake the cake in a bundt pan. A bundt pan will give the cake a beautiful shape and will help to prevent it from drying out.
- Poke holes in the cake before glazing it. This will help the glaze to soak into the cake and make it more flavorful.
- Let the cake cool completely before glazing it. This will help to prevent the glaze from running off the cake.
Conclusion:
Mom's Rum Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, moist flavor and beautiful presentation, this cake is sure to be a hit with your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give Mom's Rum Cake a try!
