Rum Cake...m-mm-mmm-good!

1 pkg. Duncan Hines Butter Recipe Golden Cake Mix
1 pkg. Instant vanilla pudding mix
4 large eggs
1/2 cup Rum
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup to 1 cup chopped walnuts

Grease 2 loaf pans well. Place chopped nuts in bottom of pans. Beat remaining ingredients together at high speed for 4 minutes. Divide batter between the two pans and bake at 325* for 1 hour. Take cakes out of the oven and let cool and "fall".

In a saucepan, mix together:
1/4 cup rum
1/4 cup water
1 cup brown sugar
1 cube butter (1/2 cup)

Boil for three minutes. Pour over cooled (and fallen) cake. Let rest until all the sauce has been absorbed. Turn pan over to release cake with the nuts being on the top on the cake now. Tastes better after it sits for a day. Wrap as a lovely...rum-ly fragrant gift cake. Yummy with coffee.
