Instructions:
-
Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan to prevent sticking.
- Sprinkle pecans evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan.

-
Cake Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, water, dark rum, melted butter, granulated sugar, and egg. Mix until well combined.
-
Baking:
- Pour the prepared batter over the pecans in the bundt pan.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cooling:
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a serving dish. Invert the cake onto the dish gently.
-
Glaze Preparation:
- In a saucepan, melt the remaining butter over medium heat.
- Stir in the additional water and granulated sugar, and boil the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
-
Rum Glaze:
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the rum until well combined.
-
Glazing the Cake:
- Spoon and brush the prepared rum glaze evenly over the top and sides of the cooled cake.
- Allow the cake to absorb the glaze.
-
Repeat Glazing:
- Repeat the process of spooning and brushing the glaze over the cake until all the glaze is used up, ensuring that the cake is thoroughly soaked in the delicious rum flavor.
-
Optional Frosting:
- If desired, mix powdered sugar with water to create a glaze of your preferred consistency. Drizzle or spread it over the cake and garnish with cherries for an extra festive touch.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Slice the Rum Cake and serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an irresistible treat!
