Bermuda Bacardi Rum Cake Recipe
- 1 c. Minced pecans or possibly walnuts
- 1 box yellow cake mix (18 1/2 ounce)
- 1 pkt Vanilla instant pudding & pie filling (3 3/4 ounce)
- 4 x Large eggs
- 1/2 c. Cool water
- 1/2 c. Veg. oil
- 1/2 c. Dark rum (80 proof)
- 1/4 lb Butter (or possibly marg)
- 1 c. Sugar
- 1/4 c. Water
- 1/2 c. Dark rum
- Cake: Preheat oven to 325F.
- Grease and flour 10" tube or possibly 12 c. bundt pan.
- Sprinkle nuts over bottom of pan using a spoon to gently push them up the sides of the pan a little.
- Mix all cake ingredients.
- Pour batter over nuts.
- Bake 1 hour (check at 45-50mins).
- Cold.
- Invert on serving place.
- Prick the top with a skewer or possibly fork.
- Spoon & brush glaze proportionately over top & sides.
- Glaze: Heat butter.
- Stir in water and sugar.
- Boil 5 min while stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat & stir in rum.
- Glaze application: You want the glaze to be soaked as far into the cake as possible.
- You have to be patient.
- I have two methods I find work.
- First i push a fork in about 1 1/2 inches and gently pry open the hole - then i dribble glaze down the fork and let the cake soak it up as i go.
- The second method is much more successful - i use the fork the same way but i use a childs medicine dropper (the kind with the bulb on the end) and inject the glaze right into the cake.
- Notes: Kahluha can be substituted for rum.
- If using yellow cake mix with pudding already in it; omit instant pudding, use 3 Large eggs instead of 4, 1/3 c of oil instead of 1/2.
- This cake is best left to sit for a day before consumption.
