–CAKE–
1 c Chopped pecans
1 pk Yellow cake mix
1 pk Instant vanilla pudding
4 Eggs
1/2 c Cold water
1/2 c Vegetable oil
1/2 c Dark rum
-GLAZE-
1/4 lb Butter
1/4 c Water
1 c Granulated sugar
1/2 c Dark rum
Sugar frosting or whipped
-cream, optional
CAKE: Preheat oven to 325 F. Grease and flour 10-inch tube or square cake
pan. Sprinkle pecans over bottom of pan. Mix all ingredients for cake
together, pour batter over pecans in pan. Bake 1 hour. Cool and invert on
plate. Prick top and drizle glaze evenly over top. We used a nut picker and
put holes in the cake from the top to the bottom, all around the cake.
GLAZE: Melt butter in saucepan, stir in water and sugar. Boil 5 minutes
stirring constantly. Stir in rum. Pour over cake, cool. Cake may be
decorated with border of sugar frosting or whipped cream. We allowed the
cake to sit and the glaze ran through and off the cake. Every 30 minutes or
so, we would spoon the glaze off of the plate and pour it back on the top.
The glaze finally got stiff enough toward the end that it stuck to the top
and sides. It was wonderful. Definately TNT:
