Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour

5 eggs
1 cup light rum
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the rum, water, and vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture until just combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. Once cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar or drizzle with glaze.
