Butter and flour the bundt pan well.

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pudding mix in a mixing bowl.

Add the sugar to the dry ingredients and whisk together.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients: rum, canola oil, and water.

Crack the eggs into a separate bowl, beat them slightly, then add to the mixture along with the vanilla extract.

Mix the batter until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and tap to remove air bubbles.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, checking for doneness with a toothpick.

While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by combining the butter, sugar, rum, and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.

Once the cake is done, pour the hot glaze over the cake while it's still in the pan.
