Now make it with regular or pudding cake mix.

CAKE:

1 c. chopped pecans or walnuts
1 (18 1/2 oz.) pkg. yellow cake mix
1 (3 3/4 oz.) pkg. vanilla instant pudding and pie filling
4 eggs
1/2 c. cold water
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1/2 c. Bacardi Dark Rum (80 proof)

(If using yellow cake mix with pudding already in the mix; omit instant pudding, use 3 eggs instead of 4, 1/3 cup of oil instead of 1/2.

GLAZE:

1/4 lb. butter
1/4 c. water
1 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. Bacardi Dark rum (80 proof)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour 10 inch tube or 12 cup spring pan. Sprinkle nuts over bottom of pan. Mix all cake ingredients together. Pour batter over nuts. Bake 1 hour. Cool. Invert on serving plate. Prick top. Spoon and brush glaze evenly over top and sides. Allow cake to absorb glaze. Repeat until glaze is used up.

GLAZE: Melt butter in saucepan. Stir in water and sugar. Boil 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in rum.

OPTIONAL: Decorate with border of sugar frosting or whipped cream.
