Description

A rich, moist Bundt cake built on Duncan Hines butter cake mix, vanilla pudding, eggs, oil, water, and rum — baked until golden, pricked all over, and finished with a warm butter-rum-sugar glaze poured over the hot cake. Better the second day once the glaze has soaked all the way through. A classic crowd-pleaser that belongs at every holiday table.

Instructions

  1. Grease and flour a Bundt pan. Sprinkle ½ cup pecans on the bottom.
  2. Mix cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water, oil, and rum together for 3 minutes.
  3. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 50–60 minutes at 325°F until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. While cake is still hot, make the glaze: combine sugar, butter, water, and rum in a small saucepan and boil until sugar dissolves.
  5. Prick the hot cake all over with a fork. Pour glaze slowly over all.
  6. Let stand for 30 minutes before removing from pan to a cake stand.
