Golden Rum Cake- 8 to 10 servings.
Ingredients:
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
4 eggs
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup dark rum
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup water
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup dark rum
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325°. Grease and flour a 10 inch bundt pan. Sprinkle chopped nuts evenly over the bottom of the pan. In a large bowl, combine cake and pudding mix. Mix in the eggs, 1/2 cup water, oil and 1/2 cup rum. Blend well. Pour batter over chopped nuts in the pan. Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Let sit for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto serving plate.
In a saucepan, combine butter, 1/4 cup water and 1 cup sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat and continue to boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup rum. Brush glaze over top and sides. Allow cake to absorb glaze and repeat until all glaze is used.
