Lissen Tortuga is not Jamaican. It more Caymanian or some other small isle like that. But, good luck to you. G-2 has been known to do much magic, so she can prolly help you out-- right G-2 kitchen seeeeelecttttaaa -

Re: RUM CAKE -- NEED RECIPE HELP!
Found this one
CAKE:
1/2 c. finely chopped walnuts
1 pkg. Butter yellow cake mix (Duncan Hines)
1 pkg. (3 1/2 oz.) vanilla instant pudding mix
1/2 c. water
4 eggs
1/2 c. light or dark rum (Tortuga Rum if you can find it, however Whalers Vanilla Rum works great!)
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1 tsps. vanilla
RUM SOAKING GLAZE:
1/2 c. (1 stick) butter (not margarine)
1/4 c. water
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. Tortuga rum/Whalers rum (this is where the taste will really show)
Recipe
FOR THE CAKE:
Preheat oven to 325 F. Spray a large bundt pan (full size 12 cup) with non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle the chopped nuts into the bottom.
Place cake mix, pudding mix, water, eggs, rum, oil and vanilla in a large bowl and combine on medium speed with an electric mixer for about 2 or 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl half way through. Batter should be very smooth. Pour into prepared bundt pan and level out top.
Bake until fully golden and tester comes out clean and cake springs back--about 45 to 55 minutes. Remove from oven and place on cooling rack while making soaking glaze.
FOR THE GLAZE:
In a small saucepan combine butter, water and sugar. Bring to a boil carefully as mixture boils over very easily. Reduce to a simmer and cook until sugar is dissolved and syrup is combined well and a little thicker. Remove from heat and cool 5 - 10 minutes. Add rum and mix to combine.
While cake is still cooling, pour hot syrup into and on top of cake. There is a lot of syrup and if cake doesn't soak it up right away just wait a couple minutes and add the rest. It will take time to soak it up.
Cool cake completely in bundt pan before turning out onto serving platter. This cake is delicate, so once it is turned out, it cannot be moved around easily. Can be eaten when fully cool, but better the next dayComment
