Bacardi Rum Cake vegetable oil spray and flour for pan
CAKE: 1 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts 1 package (18.25 ounce) plain yellow cake mix 1 package (3.4 ounces) vanilla instant-pudding mix 1/2 cup Bacardi dark rum 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/2 cup water 4 large eggs GLAZE: 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter 2 tablespoons water 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup Bacardi dark rum Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly mist a 12-cup bundt pan with vegetable oil spray, then dust with flour, shaking off excess. Sprinkle the nuts in the bottom of the pan; set aside. Place the cake mix, pudding mix, rum, oil, water and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase speed to medium and beat 2 minutes more, scraping the sides down again if needed. The batter should look thick and smooth. Pour into the prepared pan, smoothing it out with a rubber spatula. Place the pan on the center rack in the oven. Bake until cake is golden brown and springs back when lightly pressed with your finger, 55 to 60 minutes. Remove cake from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes. Run a long, sharp knife around the edge of the cake and invert onto a serving platter. Poke holes in the top with a wooden skewer or toothpick. Prepare the glaze: Place the butter in a small saucepan and melt over low heat, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the water and sugar, stirring. Increase heat to medium and bring to a boil. Reduce heat slightly and let simmer until thickened, 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and stir in rum. Spoon glaze over the warm cake, allowing it to seep into the holes and drizzle down the sides. Cool completely before slicing. -- _______________________________________________ Get your free email from www.doramail.com with 30 Megs of disk space in webhosting and e-mail storage!
