Number Of Ingredients 13

Cake:
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1 standard pkg. yellow cake mix (w/o pudding)
1 small box Vanilla Instant Pudding & Pie Filling
4 eggs
½ cup cold water
½ cup cooking oil
½ cup dark rum
Glaze:
¼ lb. butter
¼ cup water
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup dark run

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325. Grease and flour a 10" tube or 12 cup bundt pan. Sprinkle nuts over bottom of pan. Mix all cake ingredients together. Pour batter over nuts. Bake 1 hour. Cool. Invert on serving plate. Prick top and sides with a fork. Drizzle and smooth glaze evenly over top and sides. Allow cake to absorb glaze. Repeat till glaze is used up. Glaze: Melt butter in saucepan. Stir in water and sugar. Boil 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in rum. Note: I put strips of waxed paper under and along outside edge of the cake. It keeps the plate cleaner when adding the glaze.
