This one will knock your socks off - I guarantee. And super-easy. Perfect Holiday cake - totally unexpected and your guests will RAVE! This will be a new Holiday tradition - serious. If you don’t make this cake, come to our house - we make several each Holiday season. Tremendous gift.
A couple of years ago I made one of these at 9pm and it didn’t last until 9am the next morning. No, we are not proud of that, but shazam - that is serious good cookin’. Here goes:
1 cup of chopped pecans - get the pieces and chop or break them coarsely
1 (18 oz) box of Super Moist yellow cake mix
1 (3 3/4 oz) package of vanilla INSTANT pudding mix
1/2 cup of Rum
1/2 cup of water
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
4 eggs
Grease and flour (I use the professional grease/flour spray) a bundt pan. Pour pecans in the bottom of pan. Mix cake mix and pudding in a large bowl. Add rum, water, oil, eggs. Mix 2 minutes in the KitchenAid mixer. Bake 45 min at 350.
While that’s baking, prepare the glaze oooowww.
In a good sauce pan (important) like an All Clad - I use Martha Stewart look-alikes - boil the glaze:
1 cup Sugar
1 stick of butter
1/2 cup Rum
1/4 cup of water
Boil above ingredients for 3 minutes and pour over hot cake.
Remove cake from oven and poke the top with a fork all over - to allow the glaze to soak deep in. Slowly pour on the Glaze. Cool in the bundt pan 30 minutes. Cover with a plate - flip upside down and serve - OMG!
I want comments on this… Enjoy! Brad
