Grandma's Old-fashioned Rum Cake


"A perfect celebratory dessert for the holidays! This easy Rum Cake recipe starts with a box of cake mix for a moist, flavorful and quick yellow Bundt cake that's topped with pecans and soaked with a rich, butter-rum glaze. The old-fashioned treat has been a favorite for generations! I have vivid memories of my mom and my grandmother preparing this Christmas cake throughout my childhood. It's a perfect holiday dessert because you can make it in advance (and it doesn't need to be refrigerated), it's easy (since it takes advantage of a boxed cake mix), and it feels festive and celebratory -- thanks to plenty of butter rum glaze! It would also be ideal for Thanksgiving or New Year's Eve. "
