Rum Cake (mmmm)

I made this (ok, I watched a friend make this...I helped sample the batter and glaze) in Colorado this summer. An excellent dessert!

Recipe:

1 Duncan Hines yellow cake mix
1 Instant vanilla pudding mix
4 Eggs
1/2 cup each: water, rum, oil
*also recommended to sip on rum while baking
1/2 cup finely chopped nuts

Mix everything together except the nuts. Grease and flour bundt cake pan; put nuts in, then batter. Bake at 325F for 50-60 minutes.

While cake is baking, work on glaze so it has time to cool.

Glaze: (delicious)
Combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup butter, 1/8 cup water, 1/8 cup rum. Boil 3 minutes.
