I see we have a shortage of dessert recipes...so being the recipe junkie that I am (stop me if I get crazy!) I had to submit this one for your tasting. No matter where I bring this cake, people fight over the last piece and beg for the recipe. It really is That Good!!!
I might mention that I made this cake for a fundraising auction and it went for $225.00!!!!!
Best Rum Cake
Cake:
1 cup chopped, toasted pecans or walnuts
1 18-1/2 ounce yellow cake mix
1 3.4 ounce instant vanilla pudding mix
4 eggs
1/2 cup cold milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup Barcardi dark rum (I use regular Bacardi and Gold with no problems)
Glaze:
1 stick butter
1/4 cup water
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup Barcardi dark rum
Cake: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour 12-cup Bundt pan. Sprinkle nuts on bottom of pan. Combine all cake ingredients. Beat for 2 minutes on high with electric mixer. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour (or until knife comes out clean). Cool in pan. Poke holes into cake(while still in pan) with a skewer and pour glaze over , let sit for an hour or so then invert onto a serving plate
Glaze: Melt butter in saucepan. Stir in water and sugar.
Boil 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in rum. Note: The rum will cause steam. Be careful not to burn yourself.
