I used rum and amaretto for the yellow WASC. I only swap out approx. 2/3 of rum for the liquid and use all butter flavoring instead of vanilla. I then also make a simple syrup with the rum with which to glaze it with.

I always make extra syrup for other stuff. I swear I could eat it with a spoon it's so darn good. Makes me think of the ribbon of caramel in Pralines and Cream. You can drizzle this over a cinnamon coffee cake, or over ice cream. And anything that makes the soy ice cream we buy more like the real thing the better...LOL

My mom used to make a yellow mix and add pistachio pudding to it and then make the syrup and toasted pecans. I don't like the fake pistachio pudding. I want the real deal or plain yellow.

Here is a rum cake recipe that I use all the time and always get great compliments on it...its from the Cake Mix Doctor if I'm not mistaken.HTH!! I always use Meyers or Myers Dark Rum and I also poke holes in the cake while warm and pour 1/2 cup of rum over the cake!


Golden Rum Cake

1 cup chopped walnuts
1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
4 eggs
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup dark rum (I use Meyers Dark Rum)
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup water
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup dark rum

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan. Sprinkle chopped nuts evenly over the bottom of the pan.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix and pudding mix. Mix in the eggs, 1/2 cup water, oil and 1/2 cup rum. Blend well. Pour batter over chopped nuts in the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Let sit for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto serving plate. Brush glaze over top and sides. Allow cake to absorb glaze and repeat until all glaze is used.
To make the glaze: in a saucepan, combine butter, 1/4 cup water and 1 cup sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat and continue to boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup rum.
