Directions
CAKE DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 325F. Grease and flour 10" tube pan (or 12 cup bundt pan). Sprinkle nuts over bottom of pan. Mix all cake ingredients together. Pour batter over nuts. Bake 1 hour. Cool.
Invert on serving plate. Prick top (I prick deeply, but not to bottom of cake, using long-tined fork). Spoon and brush glaze evenly over top and sides. Allow cake to absorb glaze and continue until glaze is used up. GLAZE DIRECTIONS: Melt butter in saucepan. Stir in water and sugar. Boil 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in rum.
This is a great recipe for Rum Cake put out by Bacardi. You can also use Chocolate Cake and it comes out delicious. Especially if you add a few tablespoons of Kahlua to the final rum glaze (10" tube pan or 12 c. Bundt). I always use Duncan Hines cake mixes as I've found them to be very moist.
