directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan.
Sprinkle chopped nuts evenly over the bottom of the pan.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix and pudding mix. Mix in the eggs, 1/2 cup water, oil, and 1/2 cup rum. Blend well. Pour batter over chopped nuts in the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minute or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
Let sit for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto serving plate.
Brush glaze over top and sides. Allow cake to absorb glaze and repeat until all glaze is used.
To make the glaze, in a saucepan, combine butter, 1/4 cup water, and 1 cup sugar.
Bring to a boil over medium heat and continue to boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup rum.
