This is one of my most requested recipes, which I made today for my friend Karen’s birthday – as it is her favorite!
Rum Cake
1 yellow cake mix
1 package vanilla pudding
4 eggs
1/2 c vegetable oil
3/4 c rum
1/4 c water
Pecan halves
1 c sugar
1 stick butter
1/2 c rum
With an electric mixer, beat cake mix, pudding, eggs, oil, rum and water at medium speed to combine and then at high speed for 2 minutes. Grease and flour a bundt cake pan and pour batter in. Sprinkle with pecans. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Boil together the sugar, butter and rum while the cake finishes baking. Poke holes in top of cake with back of a wooden spoon and immediately pour rum syrup over. Let sit 10 minutes and then invert the cake onto a plate.
