Directions:CAKE
MIX TOGETHER IN ONE BOWL: (and beat 2 Minutes)
1 Pkg YELLOW Cake Mix
1 3.5-ounce Pkg INSTANT Vanilla Pudding Mix
4 eggs
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup DARK Rum
NOTE: ONLY use original BUNDT pan (Heavier than thinner ones.) Walmart has them.
Prepare BUNDT pan by spraying with Pam oil spray. No flour is necessary. Line the bottom of the pan with 1/3 to 1/2 cup of finely chopped Pecans (or nut of your choice). Nuts Optional.
PREHEAT oven to 325 degrees F. Pour prepared batter over nuts in pan. Bake approximately 50 minutes or until toothpick test comes out clean. Remove from oven and set on rack to cool. When the cake has cooled, shake the pan to make sure cake is loose from pan. While cake is cooling, prepare the GLAZE.
GLAZE
1/4 # Oleo (1 stick)
1/4 cup water
1 cup regular white granulated sugar
1/3 to 1/2 cup DARK rum (Add last, after removing from heat)
Directions: Melt oleo. Add water and sugar. Bring to boil and boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add the rum. Stir.
Cake should have cooled for at least 10 minutes. Take a fork (I use my two-tined meat fork) and make holes in top and sides of the cake. (Cake should still be in Bundt pan). Pour glaze over cake and down the insides of the pan to completely saturate the cake. Leave in Bundt pan until cake has cooled, then turn out on your favorite cake platter. At this point the aroma of the whole kitchen is so good that all you want to do is get a cup of fresh coffee, cut the cake, and ENJOY!!! GOOD LUCK! |
