Bacardi Rum Cake

1 C. chopped pecans or walnuts...throw them away before your start...unless you're gross, then add them in.
1 pkg. yellow cake mix
1 sm. pkg. vanilla pudding
4 eggs
1/2 C. cold water
1/2 C. oil
1/2 C. dark rum (80 proof)

* if pudding is in cake mix, omit pudding, use 3 eggs, and 1/3 C. oil

Glaze:

1/4lb. butter
1/4 C. water
1 C. sugar
1/2 C. rum

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour tube pan. Sprinkle nuts, unless you threw them away...which you should have, on the bottom of pan. Mix cake, pour over said nuts. Bake 1 hour. Cool. Turn out and prick with fork. Spoon & brush glaze over top and sides. Repeat until glaze is used.

Melt butter, stir in sugar and water. Boil 5 minutes. Stir constantly. Remove from heat and stir in rum.
