Sounds like the old Bacardi rum cake. I love that one - it always seems like there's too much glaze, but it soaks up! Looks like everything is the same. It is a great cake, and gets better as it sits.

Loretta, the sugar syrup makes the glaze in the icing, but if you can find sugar free cake mix and pudding, the cake part should adapt to sugar free.

You had me at...Rum, and at cake to be honest :lol:

Does the alcohol burn off? My husband and I don't drink but cook with wine when it cooks out.
|
It burns off the cake, but if you want the glaze alcohol-free, you might need to boil it a while, at least to a rolling boil, I would think. I always use the good dark rum because it leaves more flavor. There might be a conversion for rum extract, but that has alcohol, too.
