Steps:
- Prepare the cake pan by misting with vegetable oil and placing pecans in bottom of bundt pan if desired. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, oil, 1.3 cup of rum, water, eggs, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and beat with electric mixer on low speed until the ingredients are just incorporated (about 30 seconds). Stop mixing and scrape down the sides of the bowl with rubber spatula.
- Increase the speed of the machine to medium and beat the batter until smooth (1 1/2 to 2 minutes longer).
- Pour batter into prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Place cake in oven and bake until the top springs back when lightly pressed with finger. Approximately 40 to 45 minutes.
- While the cake is baking, make the buttered rum glaze. Place butter in small sauce pan over low heat and stir until melted. Add the brown sugar and 3 tbsp of rum and stir to combine. Cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture boils and thickens (approx 3 minutes). Remove from heat and let the glaze cool.
- Transfer the Bundt pan to a wire rack and let cake cook for 10 minutes. The gently shake the pan and invert it on a wire rack to cool. Let cool. Cool for at least 10 minutes.
- Using wooden skewers ( I use toothpicks), poke a dozen holes in the top of the cake and very slowly pour over warm cake so that the glaze can soak into the cake.
- Store this cake in a cake saver at room temp for up to 3 days. Freeze unglazed cake for up to 3 months. Let cake thaw overnight on countertop before glazing.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (170°C). Grease a 10-12-cup bundt pan with nonstick spray. Dust the inside of the pan with flour and turn the pan to coat evenly, then shake out any excess.
- Make the rum cake: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, pudding mix, baking powder, salt, butter, and canola oil with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until mixture is well incorporated and looks sandy.
- With the mixer running on low speed, add the milk and eggs and beat until the batter is smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed.
- Add the rum, vanilla, lime juice, and lime zest and stir with a rubber spatula to incorporate.
- Pour the batter into prepared bundt pan, then smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake the cake for 45-55 minutes, until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool slightly in the pan.
- Make the rum soak: In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, water, salt, and rum. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes, until the syrup thickens slightly. Transfer the syrup to a medium bowl and stir in the vanilla and lime juice.
- Use a long skewer to poke holes all over the cake. Pour about ¼ cup (60 ML) of the syrup over the cake . Allow the syrup to soak in (this may take 1-2 minutes), then continue pouring over the remaining syrup, ¼ cup at a time.
- Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and let the cake sit overnight at room temperature.
- When ready to serve, loosen the edges of the cake with a butter knife and invert onto a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. If the cake doesn't release easily, place it in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes to soften the syrup.
- Make the key lime glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lime juice, and lime zest until combined.
- Pour the glaze over the top of the cake.
- Transfer the cake to a platter, then slice and serve. Leftover cake can be wrapped in plastic wrap and stored at room temperature for 3-4 days.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use dark rum for a richer flavor. Light rum can be used, but it will result in a less flavorful cake.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. An overbaked cake will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cake cool completely before glazing. This will help the glaze to set properly.
- Use a variety of toppings for the glaze. Some popular options include chopped nuts, grated chocolate, and sprinkles.
Conclusion:
Rum cake is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for special occasions or everyday gatherings. With its rich flavor and moist texture, rum cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
