Cake

  3. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until cake tests done.
  4. Cool cake in pan for 10 minutes; turn out onto a wire rack or serving plate to complete cooling.
  5. Prick cake with a thin skewer and top with Rum Syrup while cake is still warm.

Rum Syrup

  1. Boil sugar and water 5 minutes.
  2. Add butter, vanilla extract and rum. Cook until the mixture becomes syrupy.

Notes

* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes. To compensate for the volume loss in a 16 ounce box, whisk 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour into the dry cake mix before proceeding with the recipe. To compensate for the volume loss in a 15.25 ounce box, add 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.
