• 1/3 cup rum
• 2/3 cup water
• 1 box yellow cake mix

2. Spray two 12 mini cheesecake pans with removable bottoms with baking spray with flour.
3. Combine oil, eggs, 1/3 cup rum, 2/3 cup water and yellow cake mix in blender and blend until well mixed.
4. Pour batter into prepared pans 1/2 full, making sure not to overfill.
5. Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, just until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean.
6. Let cool on cooling rack.
7. While cakes are baking, make the butter rum syrup~ combine butter and sugar in saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Bring to a boil.
8. Remove from heat and add rum or rum flavoring.
9. While cakes are still warm, pour syrup over.
