Number Of Ingredients 20
Steps:
- BASIC CAKE MIX: In a large mixing bowl, combine basic cake mix ingredients. On low speed combine ingredients until the mix is the consistency of fine gravel, and all particles are about the same size. This mix may be contained and stored for up to 3 months in the refrigerator. CAKE: Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray a large Bundt pan (12 cup) with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts on the bottom. Place basic cake mix, pudding mix, milk, eggs, rum, oil, and vanilla extract in a large bowl and combine on medium speed with electric mixer for 2 to 3 minutes, scrape down the bowl halfway through. Batter should be very smooth. Pour into Bundt pan. Bake for about 55 minutes, until fully golden and tester comes out clean and cake springs back. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack while making the soaking glaze. RUM SOAKING GLAZE: Combine butter, water and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil carefully as mixture boils over very easily. Reduce to a simmer and cook until sugar is dissolved and syrup is well combined and a little thicker. Remove from the heat and add the rum, mix to combine. While cake is still cooling, pour some of the hot syrup on top of the cake, allowing it time to soak in (this may take a few minutes as there will be a lot of syrup) continue to add syrup until all of the syrup is added. Allow cake to cool completely in pan before turning out onto serving platter. This cake is delicate, so once it is turned out, it can not be moved around easily. Can be eaten when fully cool, but even better the next day!

[email protected]I'm a bit disappointed with this recipe. The cake turned out dry and crumbly, and the rum glaze was too sweet for my taste. I won't be making this cake again.

[email protected]I've made this cake several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's the perfect balance of sweetness and booziness, and the glaze is to die for. I highly recommend it!
