Quite delicious. I usually shy away from cake mixes, but this is an exception! I used Captain Morgan's spiced rum. I poked holes in the cake with a toothpick before pouring the glaze over. Took to work for a party. Rave reviews! I will definitely make again. Thanks!

Easy, Yummy, & MOIST. I was out of regular rum so I used a combination of Coconut Rum topped off with Vodka. Rave reviews from the babysitting co-op moms. Make sure to pour the liquid slowly so the pan doesn't overflow.

I've used this recipe for years! It never disappoints! I take my cake out of the pan, pour the glaze in and then gently place the cake back in the pan. All the yumminess is absorbed and not a drop is wasted!

Wonderful! I made this cake yesterday and it's even better today! very easy to make too. I always like to taste test any cake before I bring it to future get togethers and this one will definitely be a keeper to give to friends and family. As the introduction says...It's not for the weak hearted it's pretty strong.Thanks again
