1/2 c Pecan pieces
1 Box yellow cake mix
1 pk Vanilla pudding mix
1/2 c Dark rum
1/4 c Banana Liqueur
1/2 c Vegetable oil
4 Eggs; extra large
RUM SYRUP
1/4 lb Butter; melted
1/4 c Dark rum
1/4 c Banana liqueur
1 c Sugar
Lightly butter and flour inside of bundt pan, then shake excess flour off.
Sprinkle nuts evenly around pan bottom.
Combine cake mix, pudding mix, 1/2 c rum, 1/4 c banana liquer, oil and eggs
by hand. Then use an electric mixer at medium speed for 2 minutes, no
longer.
Pour batter in bundt pan and bake at 325 degrees for 55 – 60 minutes or
until cake tests done.
Just before cake is done, melt butter, 1/4 c rum, 1/4 c banana liqueur and
sugar in a large saucepan. Slowly bring to a rolling boil for 2 minutes
(watch out, it rises up high in the pan). Do not overcook or it will become
too thick.
Spoon the syrup over the baked cake immediately, making certain that the
syrup is evenly distributed and allowed to run down the inside of pan. You
can make little holes with a toothpick to absorb the syrup.
Let the cake stand 30 – 40 minutes then turn out.
