Ingredients

• 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Bacardi dark rum
• 1 cups Chopped pecans or walnuts
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 0.75 cups Butter for glaze
• 0.25 cups Water for glaze
• 1 cups Granulated sugar for glaze
• 0.5 cups Bacardi dark rum for glaze

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan thoroughly.

Step 2

Sprinkle the chopped pecans or walnuts evenly across the bottom of the bundt pan.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

Add the butter, vegetable oil, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed until well combined and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Fold in the Bacardi dark rum and brown sugar. Ensure the mixture is evenly incorporated.

Step 6

Pour the batter over the nuts in the prepared bundt pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

As the cake cools slightly in the pan, prepare the rum glaze by combining the butter, water, and granulated sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously, and let the mixture boil for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the saucepan from heat and add in the Bacardi dark rum for the glaze. Stir well.

Step 10

While the cake is still warm, use a skewer or fork to poke small holes all over the cake. Slowly pour half the glaze over the cake while it is still in the pan, allowing it to soak in.

Step 11

Invert the cake onto a serving platter and slowly pour the remaining glaze over the top of the cake, spreading it evenly.

Step 12

Let the cake cool completely before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
