Golden Bacardi Rum Cake

Chef mariajane's Note:

A delicious cake that I know you will love, and is quite simple to make, the glaze is so delicious!! Make extra glaze, keep warm in small crock pot (not boiling). People love it and want extra on their servings.

• Cook Time: 1 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 10

• 1 cup pecans or 1 cup walnuts, chopped
• 1 (18 1/2 ounce) box yellow cake mix with pudding
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup Bacardi dark rum

Glaze

• 1/4 lb butter
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup Bacardi dark rum

Directions:

1. CAKE: Preheat oven to 325°F Grease and flour 10-inch tube or 12-cup bundt pan. Sprinkle nuts over bottom of pan. Mix together cake mix, eggs, 1/2 cup water, oil, and 1/2 cup rum. Pour batter over nuts. Bake 1 hour. Cool. Invert on serving plate.
2. Prick top. Spoon and brush glaze evenly over top and sides. Allow cake to absorb glaze. Repeat until glaze is used up.
3. GLAZE: Melt butter in medium sauce pan. Stir in 1/4 cup water and sugar. Boil 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in 1/2 cup rum.
4. TIP:Chop nuts really fine, the glaze goes through it easier. To prick top and sides, use something long that will go almost to the bottom of the cake. Remember to do the outside and inside at an angle so the glaze goes in all the way.

This is a wonderful rich, rummy and sinful cake. Has been in my files for years and can be addictive - especially if you are a rum lover. Thanks for submitting. Feel it is a great cake for entertaining and most will eat the sauce with a spoon!!!
