How can I make the Bacardi Rum Cake, if I do not have the boxed cake mix?

I am currently out of the US and there are no boxed cake mixes here. Any ideas how I can make the Bacardi Rum Cake without it? Thank you for any help you can offer!|||Homemade Yellow Cake "Mix"

4 eggs


陆 cup water


陆 cup oil


陆 cup dark rum





Glaze:


陆 cup butter, melted


1 cup sugar


录 cup dark rum


录 cup water





Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Oil and flour bundt pan. Chop pecans and place in bottom of bundt pan. Mix cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water, oil and rum in mixer for two minutes on medium speed. Continue to mix for 1 more minute on high. Pour over pecans in bundt pan. Bake as cake mix directs, until toothpick inserted in cake comes out clean. Leave cake in pan until glaze is made.





Mix glaze ingredients in saucepan. Heat to just slightly boiling to make sure sugar is all dissolved. Prick bottom of cake and slowly spoon the glaze over the bottom of the cake, being careful to make sure it doesn鈥檛 run over the sides. Let sit so glaze absorbs in cake. I usually let it sit about half an hour. After glaze is absorbed invert cake onto a plate. Serve and enjoy!|||Yellow cake mix recipe-you'll need for Bacardi recipe
