Another fab-o and EASY cake recipe!

                    BUTTERSCOTCH RUM CAKE 
 
YAHOO! WOOT WOOT!  I just found ANOTHER fabulous cake recipe that meets
all my stringent requirements...
          -  EASY
          - COMMON INGREDIENTS
          - AFFORDABLE
 
Got this from a favorite website (I'm a member there, actually),  called JUST A PINCH RECIPE CLUB.  Check them out! They have the greatest "hometown" recipes, good ideas & coupons, plus their website has terrific old-fashioned graphics and even some sound effects! Love those guys!
 
So here's the recipe. When I made it I made a few changes (see notes)
 
Ingredients. . .
CAKE:
1 pkg Duncan Hines* yellow cake mix
  * Betty Crocker worked fine for me
1 pkg butterscotch pudding*
   *I used instant pudding - the small box
3 lge eggs
1/3 C cooking oil
1/2 C cold water
1/2 C spiced rum*
   * I used regular rum. Not sure what spiced rum is... 
      it still tasted delicious.  So did the cake!  (HA HA HA!!)
 
RUM GLAZE. . .
 1 stk real butter
 1/4 c water
 1 C sugar
 1/4 C rum (spiced rum)*
     *again - I used regular ol' rum. Again - tasted great :>
1 1/4 C walnut pieces (chopped)
 
Directions...
 
1 - Pre-Heat oven 325* Lightly grease and flour Bundt Pan
2 - In mixing bowl mix Cake Mix, Butterscotch Pudding Mix,
     Eggs, Cooking oil, Cold Water, 1/2 Cup Rum
     
Blend till light and fluffy
3 - Sprinkle chopped Walnuts in to bottom of pan, now pour batter around equally into pan.
 
Bake for 1 hour
Let cool approx 5 minutes, then turn on to platter and tap bottom of pan all around to release...
 
4 - Prepare Glaze: In sauce pan, melt Butter, add water, add sugar.
    Bring to boil and boil 5 minutes stirring constantly. Remove
     from heat and add Rum. Note: I cooked the glaze a little longer
    and it added a beautiful sheen to the cake...
5 - Poke holes into top of cake, I use toothpicks, then spoon glaze
     over cake. It {the glaze} will not be real thick, will be slightly
    runny. Cover and put in cool place. Let set then go back in a few
    hours and spoon more glaze onto it. The more it is soaked with
    the glaze the better it is......
 
Notes from "Just a Pinch" about this....
2 Blue Ribbons go to JoSele Swopes of DELTA, CO (pop. 12,021)
 JoSele Wrote ... 
"This is a melt in yer mouth cake. This recipe is a no brainer, it was given to my mom
from a very good friend years ago. It still works, I made it for work this past year
and it went over great. Had people wanting me to make one for them to take home."

Comments from the Test Kitchen: What an easy way to make a tasty splash! This
oh-so-moist cake would be a great addition to any special luncheon, holiday spread
or bake sale.

I was expecting "from scratch" and I'm really glad this used a box cake mix. I'm a little depressed I can't get "from scratch" cakes to come out right.

Hi Chris, I'm with you 100%! Why reinvent the wheel? I thi;nk "doctored up" cake mixes turn out WAY better than "from scratch". I never have goo dluck with from scratch either. Thanks so much for you post! - patti
