Turns out I can get miniature Kahlua from thedrinkshop.com. It's 10ml short though

Haven't found creme de cacao either.

So I think the best bet is to buy yellow cake mix online and make the Bacardi cake.
I'll cheat by buying Sainsbury's Basics dark rum - dark Bacardi isn't easily available in this country (when we say Bacardi we mean white rum) and it's much more expensive.

Sainsbury's (70cl) = £8.11
Bacardi (70cl) = £19.59
I mean it's not for a tasting panel of rum experts - it's going to be cooked.

I figure as it's just 1 cup for the whole recipe, I can afford to experiment a little. I'm thinking buy the instant pudding at the same time as the cake mix and compare it like for like with Angel Delight ie ingredients, finished products, texture and taste.

Ordering commences Tuesday. Pudding making and tasting commences as soon as things start arriving...
