Category: Holiday, Desserts

 Ingredients List

  • * 4 eggs
  • * 1/2 oil
  • * 1 cup of walnuts
  • * 1/2 cup dark rum
  • ~~ GLAZE INGREDIENTS ~~
  • * 1 stick of butter
  • * 1 cups of sugar (not powdered)
  • * 1/4 cup water
  • * 1/2 cup of dark rum

 Directions

* Preheat the oven to 325 degrees

* Grease the bundt or tube pan

* Pour the 1 cup of chopped nuts over the bottom of the pan

* Mix all the cake ingredients together

* Blend well

* Pour batter over nuts

* Bake for 1 hour

* While the cake is baking for the hour - prepare the glaze
GLAZE PREP:

* Melt the butter in a sauce pan

* Stir in the water and sugar

* Boil the glaze mixture for 5 minutes stirring constantly (Really. Don't walk away to do facebook, pinterest, or even to do "something". Stay and stir.)

* Add the rum AFTER you pull the mixture off of the stove.
PUTTING IT TOGETHER:

* When the cake has cooled and then invert on the serving plate

* Prick the top

* Drizzle and smooth glaze evenly over the sides and top.

* Allow the cake to absorb the glaze as MUCH as possible(yes there will be a small puddle on the plate - but the cake will absorb it the next 12 hours)

* Cover with saran, (put toothpicks on top) or aluminum foil. Try and get a tight seal so the cake will absorb the rum!
