I had to find the recipe for the Duncan Hines Rum Cake.

My all time favorite is Horton's Rum Cale from Bermuda.

I picked up a couple Tortuga Cakes in the Orlando Airport recently. Very good, but I did add a little more rum

Small world joe, I just added a little more rum to my coke!

We make a variation of the Bacardi rum cake we call wine cake, as it's made with Taylor cream sherry

There is quite a good recipe for rum cake on www.duncanhines.com
I requested it once as my birthday cake and it was very good.

Mr Sundancer - I've made many of the Rum cakes you're describing and they always turn out great - everyone likes them.

Another good one is an Amaretto Pound Cake - it's a heavyweight compared to the Rum cake - made from scratch with butter, eggs, sugar - almonds on the bottom of the pan and then drenched in the Amaretto, butter and sugar glaze.

I sort of heavy up on the Amaretto too -

I was going to say, "I've had that." But it was a Bacardi Cheesecake.

My wife just brought 2 back from her trip to the Atlantis, she was going to give them to her office workers. I tasted one, they stayed home, both of them. Incredibly good in the morning with my coffee. Anyone tried one, like, no like?

I make several of them every year around the Christmas holidays.. I give them as gifts to my friends and sold several of them to the Miata club bake sale. Believe it or not, they went for better than $50.00 each. Those of you who posted that it was a yellow cake, you are correct. The key is to make a drizzel of heavy rum with sugar and butter and punch holes in the cake and soak it with the rum, sugar and butter mixture and let it soak for a day or so. In addition I use pecan crumbles in the bottom of the bundt pan and it works out really good. Fairly easy to make but make sure you use a oil flour covering in the pan to allow easily exit from the pan. It keeps it pretty also.

I sorta heavy up on the rum mixture that I pour over the cake and in the cake.

Those cakes are terrific. Actuall, it is a yellow cake. I make them quite often and we guzzle them right down! Good rum is the key to a delicious rum cake.

Your right Greymo, it is a yellow cake now that I think of it.

Sounds like a Rum Baba also known as Baba Au Rhum. Was it spongelike and swimming in liquid?

Not swimming buy the bottom was definitely very moist, it came in a can probably 9 inch, with a Bacardi label on it!

I looked them up on line, not too expensive. $14.95 for a "large". Oops, that company is in the Bahamas, might be a hefty shipping fee. They look very easy to make though.

Chewy, Are you talking about the ones that are almost like a fruit cake? I know I tried a couple, not Bacardi though, and didn't care for them.

I'll leave the cake, take the rum

It's a yellow sponge cake, bottom of it soaked in Rum, no fruit I don't believe.

That i would probably like. Wanna send one up north?
