  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 10-inch 12-cup Bundt pan. Sprinkle pecans in the bottom of the Bundt pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, milk, vanilla, vegetable oil, and 1/2 cup rum. Using a mixer beat on low for about 2 minutes or blend well with a spoon.  Pour into prepared pan.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Meanwhile combine butter, sugar, and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over low heat stirring constantly. Continue to boil for 3-4 minutes while stirring. Remove from heat; slowly and carefully add 1/2 cup of rum.
  • When the cake is done and removed from the oven pour half the glaze over the bottom and down the sides of the cake while it is in the pan.  Wait 15 minutes; invert the cake onto a serving dish.  Brush the remaining glaze over the tops and sides of the cake.
