Julie’s Easy Rum Cake


Ingredients: 
1 C chopped walnuts 
1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix 
1/2 C dark rum 
4 eggs 
1/2 C water 
1/2 C vegetable oil 
1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix 


Directions: 
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 10 inch tube or bundt pan. Sprinkle nuts over the bottom of the pan. 
Mix together, using an electric mixer, the cake mix, 1/2 cup dark rum, eggs, 1/2 cup water, oil, and vanilla pudding mix. Pour batter over the nuts in the pan. 
Bake for 1 hour. Cool, and invert cake on a serving plate. Prick the top of the cake and drizzle glaze over top. 




Glaze 
1/2 C butter 
1/8 C water 
1/2 C white sugar 
1/4 C rum 


To Make The Glaze: Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in 1/8 cup water and the 1/2 cup sugar. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove glaze from heat, and stir in 1/4 cup rum. Prick top of cake with toothpick. Drizzle and smooth evenly over the top and sides of cake. (I think next time, I’d add more rum to the glaze.)
