Double Rum Cake

A little while ago, I posted a picture on Facebook...it looked a little something like this:


I said "Guess what I'm making?" :)
I was really hungry and had ran out of Girl Scout cookies, so I made a Double Rum cake..it was really delicious. Of course, it was a Paula Deen recipe, so it was bound to be incredible!

  2. On low speed, combine cake mix, pudding mix, 1/2 cup rum, oil and 1/2 cup water in a mixer.
  3. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well between each addition.
