Peggy Stein's Rum Cake

I would have taken a picture of the whole cake, but I was too slow to get it done before it was half-devoured. I thought perhaps, even though I do not usually post recipes, I would post this one....brought to you by St. Pius V Catholic Church Fish Fry circa 2006 (when I first encountered this):

Peggy Stein's Rum Cake

Oven 325 degrees
Ingredients:
1 c chopped nuts (I used walnuts)
1 box yellow cake mix
1 box instant vanilla pudding
4 eggs
1/2 c cold water
1/2 c oil
1/2 c rum

Put nuts in bottom of greased bundt pan or 10" tube pan. Mix other ingredients and pour into pan. Bake at 325 for 45-55 minutes (or until toothpick comes out clean, you know how to do this, right?). Remove from pan when cool--onto a plate that can handle the glaze (not onto just a wire rack, essentially...).

Glaze: 1/4 c butter
1 c sugar
1/2 c water
1/2 c rum

Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. Punch holes in cake and pour glaze over. Cake will soak it up.
