Ingredients:1 box yellow cake mix
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1 small package vanilla pudding mix
1/2 cup rum (not extract!) --I get this from my co-workers
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1/4 cup water
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease bundt pan and sprinkle with pecans; set aside. Mix all ingredients except the eggs in a large bowl on medium speed; then add the eggs one at a time until incorporated. Pour batter into the bundt pan. Bake for one hour or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Yum Yum Sauce:1/4 cup rum (again, NOT extract!)1 cup sugar1 stick butter1/4 cup water
In a small sauce pan, melt the butter and sugar over medium heat; add the water and stir until you have a smooth liquid. Remove from heat and add the rum. Spoon over cake while still hot in the pan.*I like to take a toothpick and poke holes all over the top of the cake, that way the glaze soaks in better.Invert the cake onto a serving platter, cover with plastic wrap and store at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
