1 c Chopped nuts; optional
1 Box (18oz) yellow cake mix;
-package
1 pk (3-3/4oz) instant pudding
-mix, package
4 Eggs
1/2 c Oil
1/2 c Dark rum
1/2 c Water
1/4 lb Butter; melted
1/4 c Water
1 c Sugar

Grease and flour large Bundt pan. Sprinkle nuts on bottom of pan. Mix rest
of ingredients and pour over nuts. Bake 1 hour at 325 degrees. Cool while
making glaze.
GLAZE: Boil butter, water, and sugar for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and
stir in 1/2 cup rum. (Beware of STRONG vapors!)
EITHER (a) poke holes in bottom of cake still in pan and spoon glaze over
cake. Then invert onto serving plate. OR (b) invert on serving plate, poke
holes in top of cake and spoon glaze over.
NOTES : ***If cake mix already contains pudding, omit instant pudding, use
3 eggs and 1/3 cup oil. ***Can substitute same amount of applesauce or oil
replacement for oil. 1 1/2 cups or 2 cups of rum makes a stronger acke.
Tastes better second day. Have used flavored cake mix (i.e. lemon or
strawberry) and used flavorerd rum (coconut rum) DELICIOUS!!!!
