Butter Rum Cake

Collect all the necessary components for this recipe, including ingredients and equipment. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius) for the required baking temperature.

Next, take a 10-inch Bundt pan and give it a layer of non-stick spray to prevent the cake from sticking. Then, sprinkle an even distribution of chopped walnuts across the bottom of the pan.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix and pudding mix. Add eggs, 1/2 cup of rum, 1/2 cup of water, and oil to the bowl. Mix these ingredients until they are thoroughly incorporated.

Pour the cake batter over the chopped walnuts in the prepared pan.

Place the Bundt pan in a preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.

While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by combining sugar, butter, and remaining 1/4 cup of water in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and becomes slightly darker in color, approximately 5 minutes. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of rum.

Once the cake is done, let it sit in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. Brush the glaze over the top and sides of the cake, allowing it to absorb the glaze before repeating this process until all the glaze is used.

Finally, serve and indulge in your delicious creation!
