Rum Cake

When I met with my Sassy Sisters for the Supper night we were to bring a Paula Deen dish. I chose to make a Vidalia Onion Casserole. It was beyond easy and fabulous! I have made it twice since as well. I also chose to bring a dessert and once I read Rum Cake I was in love. It is no secret that I am a rum girl, so this was going to be perfect, and Paula Deen knows her stuff!

Rum Cake

1 C chopped walnuts
One package yellow cake mix
One 3.5 oz package instant vanilla pudding
4eggs
1/2 C Vegetable Oil
1/2 C Buttermilk
1/2 C dark rum (I decided to go for the best, Cruzan)

Preheat oven to 325*, Grease and flour bunt pan. I used mini fluted bunts.
Sprinkle nuts in the bottom of the pan. Mix remaining ingredients, and pour batter over nuts. Bake One hour and then cool.

Rum Sauce

4 T Butter
1/4 C water
1 C sugar
1/2 C dark rum

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

Drizzle and smooth glaze over the top and sides of cake/cakes. ENJOY!







Here it has the rum sauce drizzled on it. Well, I drowned them. I absolutely love rum.
