Steps:

• Pour rum and liquor into a mug. Fill mug to the top with coffee.

Steps:

• Crack two eggs in a bowl and whisk. Now, add brown sugar whisk until the sugar dissolves completely.
• Next, add the oil and orange zest and mix thoroughly.
• In a separate bowl, sift together the dry ingredients. Then, mix these into the wet ingredients to create a thick batter.
• Add the rum gradually into the mixture and mix well. Adjust rum amount according to your taste.
• Lay a parchment paper on your baking tray, grease it, and pour the mixture into it. Bake for about 30 mins at 350°F.
• In a separate bowl, cream powdered sugar together with butter. Then, add 1.5 tbsp instant coffee and taste. Add more if desired. Add cocoa powder to make this a chocolate frosting.
• After the cake is done, take it out and let cool before inverting.
• After it cools, slice horizontally and remove the top half.
• Now, apply the frosting evenly and top with the reserved half to create a sandwich, of sorts.

Steps:

• Prepare the cake pan by misting with vegetable oil and placing pecans in bottom of bundt pan if desired. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, oil, 1.3 cup of rum, water, eggs, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and beat with electric mixer on low speed until the ingredients are just incorporated (about 30 seconds). Stop mixing and scrape down the sides of the bowl with rubber spatula.
• Increase the speed of the machine to medium and beat the batter until smooth (1 1/2 to 2 minutes longer).
• Pour batter into prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
• Place cake in oven and bake until the top springs back when lightly pressed with finger. Approximately 40 to 45 minutes.
• While the cake is baking, make the buttered rum glaze. Place butter in small sauce pan over low heat and stir until melted. Add the brown sugar and 3 tbsp of rum and stir to combine. Cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture boils and thickens (approx 3 minutes). Remove from heat and let the glaze cool.
• Transfer the Bundt pan to a wire rack and let cake cook for 10 minutes. The gently shake the pan and invert it on a wire rack to cool. Let cool. Cool for at least 10 minutes.
• Using wooden skewers ( I use toothpicks), poke a dozen holes in the top of the cake and very slowly pour over warm cake so that the glaze can soak into the cake.
• Store this cake in a cake saver at room temp for up to 3 days. Freeze unglazed cake for up to 3 months. Let cake thaw overnight on countertop before glazing.
