Steps:
- Prepare the cake pan by misting with vegetable oil and placing pecans in bottom of bundt pan if desired. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, oil, 1.3 cup of rum, water, eggs, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and beat with electric mixer on low speed until the ingredients are just incorporated (about 30 seconds). Stop mixing and scrape down the sides of the bowl with rubber spatula.
- Increase the speed of the machine to medium and beat the batter until smooth (1 1/2 to 2 minutes longer).
- Pour batter into prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Place cake in oven and bake until the top springs back when lightly pressed with finger. Approximately 40 to 45 minutes.
- While the cake is baking, make the buttered rum glaze. Place butter in small sauce pan over low heat and stir until melted. Add the brown sugar and 3 tbsp of rum and stir to combine. Cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture boils and thickens (approx 3 minutes). Remove from heat and let the glaze cool.
- Transfer the Bundt pan to a wire rack and let cake cook for 10 minutes. The gently shake the pan and invert it on a wire rack to cool. Let cool. Cool for at least 10 minutes.
- Using wooden skewers ( I use toothpicks), poke a dozen holes in the top of the cake and very slowly pour over warm cake so that the glaze can soak into the cake.
- Store this cake in a cake saver at room temp for up to 3 days. Freeze unglazed cake for up to 3 months. Let cake thaw overnight on countertop before glazing.

SPICED POUND CAKE WITH ORANGE RUM SAUCE
Steps:
- Make the Spiced Pound Cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Prepare a bundt pan with an even coating of shortening and flour. Place chopped pecans evenly in the bottom of the bundt pan.
- In the bowl of a mixer, cream butter and sugars together, beating until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and ginger. Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt; add flour mixture to egg mixture alternating the buttermilk, and beginning and ending with the flour. Pour into prepared bundt pan and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, turn out onto wire rack to cool partially, and then place on a cake plate.
- Make the Orange Rum Glaze: Stir together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in small saucepan. Add juice and water mixture, zest, and rum. Cook over medium heat until bubbly, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla; stir. Pour approximately half of the glaze over the warm cake. Reserve remaining glaze for serving with the cake.
- Make the Chocolate Sauce: Place corn syrup and chocolate in a microwave-safe container. Microwave for 1 minute on high and then stir to melt chocolate. Add butter and vanilla and whisk until chocolate is thoroughly combined. Drizzle over cooled cake and serve.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will ensure that your pound cake has the best flavor and texture.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the cake lighter and more tender.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Stir in the dry ingredients gradually. Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake in a loaf pan until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake the cake, or it will be dry.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze to set properly.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
