Slutty Wendys Rum Cake: The Most Decadent and Boozy Cake

Spookie is my brother’s godmother, and has been a part of my life ever since I was born.  A traveller, adventurer, and always filled with stories and a wink, I remember her teaching me how to cut cards during gin rummy and calling me a “Cheatin’ Charlie” if I ever won a board game.  Her humor and wit are only out-classed by her heart, and her deep abiding passion for all creatures, including two adorable rescue dogs named Minky and Scallywag, has always had a great effect on me. Spookie didn’t bake or cook, but she did have one go-to recipe: her rum cake. This was the most exotic, luscious, delicious cake that ever captured an eight year-old’s mind. She visited my family for a weekend while I was recipe testing, so it was the perfect opportunity to pick her brain for details.  When I asked her how she came across the recipe, her answer, like almost everything about Spookie, was unexpected. “Well, when I was a black jack dealer in Vegas, I had this room mate named Wendy.  She’d trot this rum cake out all the time, I’m pretty sure it’s the only thing she could make.  Then she hooked up with my boyfriend, so I started referring to it as ‘Slutty Wendy’s Rum Cake.’” Here I thought it was an old Irish or Aussie recipe passed down over the generations. Using box cake mix, pudding straight from the pack, and a few other odds and ends, this cake is sticky, sweet, and completely delicious.
