Ingredients
Cake
- 1 Tablespoon unslated butter softened
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- 1 15.25 oz package yellow cake mix
- 1 3.4 oz package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup Bacardi rum
Glaze
- ½ cup butter
- ¼ cup water
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup Bacardi rum
Instructions
Cake
- First, preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Generously grease a 10-inch bundt cake pan with 1 Tablespoon of unsalted butter.
- Place chopped pecans in the bottom of the bundt pan and sprinkle with a little brown sugar. Set aside.
- Add boxed cake mix and a package of dry vanilla pudding mix to a large bowl and stir to combine. Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and ½ cup of Bacardi rum in a separate bowl and whisk.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until combined. Pour mixture into bundt pan over the pecans.
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Set aside to cool.
Glaze
- While the cake is cooling, make the glaze by combining butter, water, ½ cup brown sugar, and ½ cup white sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to boil and boil for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of rum.
- Pour the glaze over the cake while it remains in the bundt pan. Allow the glaze to soak into the cake for about 15-20 minutes.
- After soaking, use a butter knife to release the sides of the cake from the bundt pan. Remove the cake from the bundt pan by flipping it onto a platter.
- Serve and enjoy.

Notes
- I use Bacardi Spiced Rum in this recipe. Any kind of dark rum can be used in its place.
