Rum Cake

[Sirensa]

This cake is the yum! Just strong enough to pack a bit of a punch without being so overpowering that you couldn't eat it at work. (ie - it's been an office holiday tradition around here as long as I've worked here)

Rum Cake

Preheat Oven to 325 degrees.

1 c. chopped pecans - place in bottom of greased & floured bundt pant
1 - 18 1/2 oz. yellow cake mix
1 - 3 1/2 oz. instant vanilla pudding mix
4 eggs
1/2 c. cold water
1/2 c. oil
1/2 c. dark rum

Mix all cake ingredients together and pour batter over chopped nuts. Bake approx. 50 min. to 1 hr. Cool. Invert onto serving place. Prick top and drizzle glaze over top and sides of cake.

Glaze

1 stick margarine or butter
1/4 c. water
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. dark rum (add after removing mixture from heat)

Melt butter. Stir in water and sugar. Boil 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in rum.

If you prick the cake and pour glaze when cake is still just a little warm and soft, it comes out very moist. Just go slowly and you shall have the best results.

Hehe - I didn't create the recipe. I ninja'd it from a coworker's wife who would always bring the cake in for us at work
