Ingredients

  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans

Press pecans on a VERY well greased bundt pan.

  • 1 cake mix - I used yellow but my mother-in-law blew my mind saying you can use butter pecan or other cake mix flavours
  • 1 package vanilla instant pudding
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup white rum, Bacardi is my fave

Mix batter ingredients together, pour into bundt pan and bake according to the time listed on the cake mix box for bundt cakes.

  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup rum

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

Instructions

  1. When cake is done baking, let cool for a few minutes then poke all over.

  2. Pour rum glaze all over the cake. It will seem like a lot; it's not. Most of it will get absorbed via your awesome holes.

  3. Let sit in the fridge for an hour or two to allow the rum glaze to be absorbed.

  4. Invert on a plate and admire your bundt awesomeness.

  5. Serve with a GENEROUS amount of whipped cream.

  6. Finish off the rest of the cake one tiny sliver at a time.
