The Math
1.75 liter of Rum = 7 1/3 cups = 60 oz
If we are doing 10 batches, that means:
20 Boxes of Cake Mix
10 Large Vanilla Puddings – Not Instant
10 cups of chop nuts, (not sure what the resized amount is after they are chopped) + 2 cups for dusting
80 oz of Vegetable oil
80 eggs = 5 18’s or 7 12’s
80 oz of water
80 oz Rum + 40 for the Glaze
5 lbs Sugar
10 lbs of margarine ( each brick of 4 sticks is a lb) so 10 boxes of margarine
