1 box yellow cake mix
1 small box instant vanilla pudding
4 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup water 1/2 cup dark rum
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup rum
Place cake mix, pudding, eggs, oil, water and rum in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Pour in prepared pan and bake for 1 hour.
While cake is baking, prepare glaze. Combine all glaze ingredients except rum in a saucepan and bring to a boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add the rum. When the cake is done, remove from the oven and pierce thoroughly with a toothpick. Immediately pour glaze over the top. Cool completely before removing the cake from the pan.
