Donna's Rum Cake

Speaking of family.....here is my Mother-in-laws Rum Cake recipe, she was one of the best cooks I know....

Donna's Rum Cake

1 c. chopped pecans
1 pkg. yellow cake mix
4 eggs
1/2 c. cold water
1/2 c. oil
1/2 c. rum
Grease and flour a bundt pan. Sprinkle the pecans in the bottom of the pan. Mix remaining ingredients and pour over pecans. Bake 1 hour or until done. Cool, leaving the cake in the pan. With the cake still in the pan, using a skewer...poke holes in the cake.
Glaze:
1/4 c. water
1 cube butter
1/2 c. rum
1 c. sugar
Combine all ingredients except the rum in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until boiling for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in rum. Drizzle over the cake. When the glaze is thoroughly absorbed, remove cake from pan.
Delicious.....but be careful breathing around an open flame...
