This easy Caribbean area rum-soaked block recipe starts with a xanthous cake mix and instant pudding. You will make it in a Bundt pan and so poke holes in the cake so that it soaks up the delicious glaze made from Bacardi rum.

While the rum added to the block batter has the alcohol cooked off, leaving the rum flavor, the rum coat retains most of the alcohol. Because of this, use circumspection and alert any guest who wishes to avoid alcohol.

Rum was a driving gene behind the Caribbean's economy, history, and civilization. By the tardily 17th century, a thriving export trade developed. Rum is produced by fermenting sugarcane juice and byproducts such as molasses, and so distilling the alcohol and crumbling it in oak barrels.

Non only is the alcohol used for cocktails, merely it is too used for preserving and cooking, too. Virtually every major Caribbean area island group produces its singled-out way of rum. This recipe calls for Bacardi rum, simply you lot can use your favorite brand of rum.

"My tasters absolutely loved this cake, and information technology was very quick and easy to put together. The most time-consuming function was spooning on the glaze, fleck by bit, equally the block soaked it up. I couldn't find French vanilla instant pudding, simply regular vanilla worked great. The cake was boozy, simply non overpoweringly so." —Danielle Centoni
