Barbados Chocolate Rum Cake

Cake Ingredients:

• 1 box chocolate cake mix
• 1 package of instant chocolate pudding mix
• 4 eggs
• ½ cup water
• ½ cup light olive oil
• ½ cup dark rum
• ¼ cup dark sugar

Glaze Ingredients:

• ½ cup butter
• ¾ cup white sugar
• ¼ white rum
• ¼ cup water

Directions:

1. Either grease or spray a 10-inch bundt pan.

2. In a mixer, beat the cake mix, the pudding mix, the eggs, olive oil, water, olive oil, rum and sugar on high speed for 2 - 3 minutes.

3. Pour the batter in to the bundt and place in a 325 oven for 50 minutes to an hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

4. While the cake is baking, in a saucepan, combine butter, white sugar, the white rum and the water and bring to a boil and cook for 3 - 5 minutes.

5. When you take the rum cake out of the oven, flip it over on a rack on a cookie sheet, and immediately pour the glaze over the cake while it's still warm.
