How To Make moms rum cake

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 325.
  • 2
    Spray a bundt pan well with nonstick spray for baking. Sprinkle the chopped nuts in the bottom of the pan.
  • 3
    Mix the cake mix, pudding mix, oil, water, eggs, vanilla extract and rum until well mixed about 2 minutes.
  • 4
    Pour over the pecans in the bundt pan. Bake at 325 for 40-60 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for about 30 minutes before removing from pan.
  • 5
    For the glaze melt butter in a saucepan combine with confectioners sugar and rum or rum extract.
  • 6
    Mix until smooth adding 1/2 tablespoon milk at a time until it's thin enough to pour over cake but not to thin.
  • 7
    You will probably need more of the milk if you use the rum extract instead of the actual rum since you use less.
  • 8
    Pour the glaze over the cake letting it run down and over the sides. If your glaze is thick enough your glaze won't run a whole lot. Dot the top and down the sides a little with the pecan halves.
