GLAZED RUM CAKE WITH TOASTED PECANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Prepare a 10 inch tube or 12 cup bundt pan.
• To toast pecans, melt butter in microwave bowl. Toss nuts in butter and spread evenly on cookie sheet. Place in oven for 10 minutes, tossing at half the time (5 minutes) to ensure even toasting. Remove from oven. Sprinkle nuts over bottom of prepared cake pan.
• Combine cake mix, eggs, water, oil and rum and mix thorougly. Pour batter over nuts.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool for about 15 minutes.

PECAN BUTTER RUM CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Grease and flour a bundt pan and set aside. Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the ingredients (excepting pecans) and beat until smooth, around two minutes.
• Pour into the prepared bundt pan. Stir in the cup of pecans until they are mid-way through the batter. ( I do this to prevent them from being on top. Most recipes have them on the top, but then your buttered rum doesn't soak in properly!!)
• Bake in the oven for 35-45 minutes, until a cake tester or toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then invert onto the plate you want to serve it on.
• Poke holes in the top.
• For the Rum Glaze, combine the first three ingredients in a pan. Bring it to a boil, boil for 5 minutes. Add in the rum at the very end and mix in.
• Pour over the still warm cake, spooning up any extra over and over again, until you get most of it soaked into the cake. Yes, this can be a pain but THIS is what makes the cake so darn good!
• Let the cake sit from 12-24 hours before eating.
• When you go to serve, you can mix up the icing ingredients and drizzle over the cake. This is optional! Try it with and without, you can't go wrong either way!
