That's RUMmy!

RUMmy Cake

So I came home after a hectic day yesterday and made this Rum Cake for a Teachers' Luncheon at Joshua's Junior High. Mmmmmm, it made the whole house smell YUMMY! I put John in charge of delivery and he was wondering if they'd notice if there's a piece missing. He suggested slicing it in advance and spreading them out on the plate so he could have some. Such a cute compliment!

Here's our Rum Cake recipe:

1 box yellow cake mix

1 small box instand vanilla pudding mix

1/2 cup oil

1/2 cup rum

1/2 cup water

4 eggs

Mix batter and pour into greased Bundt pan. Bake 50-55 minutes at 350. While your cake is in the oven, boil the following ingredients together for 2-3 minutes:

Butter-Rum Sauce

1/2 cup butter

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup rum

1 cup sugar, scant

Poke the cake with a fork as it's cooling and pour the Butter-Rum sauce over the top. 

Let cool a bit longer and invert onto a plate. Serve with fresh berries and whipped cream.

In addition to treating Joshua's teachers, I'm excited today because it's my turn to share over at PreK and K Sharing. I've updated my ABC Building Blocks for Caregivers, so head on over there to see what you think.
