Ingredients
Cake
- 1 cup Chopped Pecans
- 1 15.25-ounce box yellow cake mix
- 1 3.4-ounce box vanilla instant pudding mix
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil

- 1/2 cup butter

Instructions
Cake
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Sprinkle the pecans into a tube pan.
- Place the remaining ingredients in a large mixer bowl and blend on low speed. Then beat for 4 minutes at medium speed.
- Pour the batter into the tube pan and bake for 1 hour, until the cake begins to pull away from the pan. Do not underbake.
- Cool the cake for 10 minutes in the pan. Then invert it onto a serving plate and poke holes into the top of the cake with a long wooden skewer. Glaze while the cake is still warm.

Glaze
- Mix butter, sugar, and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat and stir until the mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Then stir in the rum and return to a boil. Keep warm.
- Spoon and brush the warm glaze evenly over the warm cake. Allow the cake to absorb the glaze, and repeat until all the glaze is used up.
