Easy Cake

cake recipe for a rum-soaked dessert baked with walnuts and glazed with a buttery sauce.

Ingredients

Cake:

1 cup chopped walnuts

1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix

4 large eggs

½ cup dark rum

½ cup water

½ cup vegetable oil

1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix

Glaze:

½ cup butter

½ cup white sugar

⅛ cup water

¼ cup rum

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt or tube pan.

Make cake: Sprinkle walnuts over the bottom of the prepared pan; set aside.

Mix together cake mix, eggs, dark rum, water, oil, and vanilla pudding mix in a large bowl until well combined. Pour batter over walnuts in the pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool, then invert cake onto a serving plate. Gently prick holes into the top and sides of cake with a toothpick or skewer.

Make glaze: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir sugar and water into melted butter; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Remove glaze from heat; stir in rum.

Drizzle warm glaze over top and sides of cake.
