• Mix together the cake mix, 1/2 cup dark rum, eggs, 1/2 cup water, oil, and vanilla pudding mix. Pour batter over the nuts in the pan.
• Bake for 1 hour. Cool, and invert cake on a serving plate. Prick the top of the cake.
• To Make The Glaze: Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in 1/8 cup water and the 1/2 cup sugar. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove glaze from heat, and stir in 1/4 cup rum. Drizzle and smooth evenly over the top and sides.

Steps:

• Cake: Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Grease and flour a 12c.
• Bundt pan.
• Mix all cake ingredients together.
• Pour batter into prepared Bundt pan.
• Bake for 1 hour and cool completely.
• Make the glaze while cake is cooling.
• Glaze: Melt butter in sauce pan.
• Stir in water and sugar.
• Bring to a boil for 5 minutes stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat.
• Stir in the Rum.
• Invert the cake onto a serving plate or cake stand.
• Prick the top of the cake with a toothpick to allow the glaze to soak in.
• Drizzle and smooth the glaze evenly over the top and sides.
• Allow the cake to absorb the glaze.
• Repeat until all of the glaze is used up.
• (This will take several applications).

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast with the milk. Allow it to proof in a warm place for 10 minutes. Mix in the flour and eggs, beating well until dough is smooth. Cover the bowl, and let rise at room temperature for 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush 6 individual savarin molds or ramekins with butter.
• Mix 5 tablespoons softened butter, the salt, and sugar into the dough, slapping it against the sides of the bowl. Fill molds almost full with the dough. Let the dough rise until molds are full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown and a small knife or wooden skewer can be inserted in cake and removed cleanly.
• To make the syrup: Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from heat and cool until lukewarm. Add the vanilla and rum.
• Brush the cakes with the syrup, let it soak in, then brush again. Repeat until all the syrup is used or the cakes will absorb no more syrup. Place the soaked cakes on individual plates. Garnish with Blood Orange Marmalade and whipped mascarpone.
• Slice the fruit very thin on a slicer or with a very sharp blade, removing all seeds as you go.
• You should have approximately 2 1/2 pounds of fruit. For every pound of fruit add 2 pints of water in a large heavy bottomed pot. Add the vanilla beans and cinnamon. Bring to a boil and cook until the fruit skin is tender, approximately 10 minutes. Remove from heat, cool and refrigerate overnight.
• Weigh the fruit and water mixture. You should have approximately 5 pounds. For each pound of fruit and water, add 1 pound of sugar. Bring to a boil and then continue to cook over medium heat, stirring frequently. To test, drip a small amount of the syrup onto a cool plate. When it's the consistency of honey at room temperature, it is ready (about 1 hour or more). Remove from heat and allow to cool. Leftover marmalade will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease and flour 12-cup (standard size) bundt pan.
• Sprinkle nuts over the bottom of the pan.
• Mix all cake ingredients in mixing bowl.
• Pour batter over nuts.
• Bake 1 hour.
• Cool.
• Invert on serving dish.
• For the glaze: melt butter in saucepan.
• Stir in water and sugar; boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat and stir in rum.
• Spoon and brush glaze evenly over top and sides of cake.
• Allow cake to absorb glaze.
• Repeat until glaze is used up.
• Optional frosting: Mix powdered sugar with water (consistency is up to cook); then garnish cherries.
• Or just sprinkle with powdered sugar and then garnish with cherries.

Steps:

• For the cake: Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
• Spray a 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray and sprinkle the bottom with the chopped pecans. Set aside.
• Combine the flour, dry milk, cornstarch, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Cream the butter and sugar together in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until light and fluffy.
• Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined. (It will look like crumb topping.)
• Whisk together the milk, rum, oil, vanilla and eggs in another bowl.
• Slowly add the liquid mixture to the crumb mixture and mix until combined. (Pouring the liquid in slowly is important. The batter has a high ratio of liquid and will be thin almost like a thick crepe batter, but if you add the liquid too quickly you will get lumps that never go away no matter the amount of mixing!)
• Pour the batter into the pan and bake until the top is golden, center is set and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted, 50 to 60 minutes.
• Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack. Poke holes all over the cake using a wooden skewer.
• For the buttered rum sauce: Meanwhile, add the butter, honey, cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, nutmeg, salt and 1/3 cup water to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the honey has dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the rum. (It is going to bubble and splatter a little, so be careful.)
• Clean and dry the Bundt pan, then place the cooled cake back inside the pan. Poke a few holes in the top. Evenly pour the rum sauce over the cake. Let the cake sit to absorb the sauce, 30 minutes or up to overnight.
• Invert the cake back onto a cake plate and serve at room temperature. (See Cook's Note.)

Steps:

• For the cake: Grease a Bundt pan and spread pecans on the bottom of the pan. Beat eggs, oil, water and rum in mixer just until incorporated. Add pudding mix and cake mix and beat on med, about 3 to 5 minutes just until you get a smooth texture. Pour into pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 40 to 45 minutes. The cake should have a light golden brown color, but will darken with the glaze.
• For the glaze: Melt butter in saucepan and add the sugar and water, bring to a boil. Once it starts to boil, take off the heat and add the rum. Pour into a large measuring cup that will hold that amount or more. Set aside.
• Once cake is ready, take out of oven and leave in pan. Gently prick holes into the cake with a skewer. Slowly pour half of the glaze over the cake making sure to fill in all the holes. Once the cake has soaked up the glaze, turn cake over, removing pan, onto the base that the cake will stay on. Gently prick more holes on other side and slowly pour other half of glaze over cake. Fill the center of the cake with reserved pecans. Let cool and enjoy. The cake is best if left at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat a 10-cup (2.5-liter) Bundt cake or tube pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray, dust it with flour, and tap out any excess.
• To make the cake, into a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and the nutmeg.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a bowl by hand), beat together the 1 cup (8 ounces/225 g) butter and 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes.
• In a small bowl, beat together the eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla. With the mixer running, slowly dribble the egg mixture into the butter mixture, stopping the mixer and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until the eggs are completely incorporated. (The mixture may look curdled, which is normal.) Gently stir in one-third of the flour mixture, then about half of the 3/4 cup (180 ml) coconut milk. Mix in about half of the remaining flour mixture, followed by the remaining coconut milk. Finally, gently stir in the remaining flour mixture just until combined.
• Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the cakes feels just set in the center, 55 to 60 minutes.
• While the cake is baking, make the coconut-rum syrup. In a medium saucepan, warm the 3/4 cup (180 ml) coconut milk and the 6 tablespoons (75 g) granulated sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and add the 1/2 cup (125 ml) rum.
• When the cake comes out of the oven, leave it in the pan and poke it with a wooden skewer about 60 times. Spoon about two-thirds of the coconut-rum syrup over the cake, letting it soak in gradually. Let the cake cool completely.
• Invert the cake onto a cake plate. Brush or spoon the remaining coconut-rum syrup over the cake.
• To make the glaze, in a small saucepan over high heat, bring the 4 tablespoons (2 ounces/60 g) butter, the cream, brown sugar, and pinch of salt to a boil. Cook, stirring to dissolve the sugar, for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the 1 tablespoon rum, and let cool completely. Once cool, stir in the toasted coconut.
• Spoon the glaze over the top of the cake, encouraging it to run down the sides of the cake (if the glaze seems too thick, rewarm it slightly).
• Storage
• The cake can be stored at room temperature for up to 4 days, preferably under a cake dome.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour one 10 inch tube pan.
• Combine cake mix and pudding mix.
• In another bowl beat eggs, water, oil and rum until frothy. Add cake mix/pudding mixture and beat until well mixed. Spread pecans evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan and pour batter over pecans.
• Bake cake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out dry when inserted in the center. Allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes and remove from pan. Place in serving dish immediately, right side up. (Pecans should be on the bottom)
• To Make Glaze: During the last 15 to 20 minutes of baking time, combine butter or margarine, water and sugar in a sauce pan and bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and boil rapidly until it's very thick and syrupy stirring very frequently. The syrup must be reduced quite a bit and very thick otherwise it will make the cake mushy. Remove from heat and add rum. While cake is still hot, poke holes all over top of cake with a toothpick and spoon glaze over top of cake. Allow cake to sit at room temperature for one day then refrigerate.

Pour over layer of pecans. Bake 60 minutes. Insert knife or toothpick into cake; if it comes out dry, cake is done. Let cool for about 10 minutes, then invert onto plate. Glaze while hot.
• GLAZE: Combine all ingredients for glaze in small but tall saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and continue to gently boil for 2 minutes. (Note: you need the tall saucepan with enough head room to allow boiling to swell up without spilling over edge of pan.).
• With a skewer, poke holes all over the cake sides, top and the center. Spoon glaze over the cake slowly, allowing cake to soak in the glaze. It is best made the day before so that the cake can get "drunk".

Steps:

• Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. For sauce, in a saucepan, combine confectioners' sugar, juice and 1/4 cup cubed butter; cook and stir over medium-low heat until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat; stir in rum. Reserve 3/4 cup for serving., Preheat oven to 375°. Grease and flour a 10-in. tube pan. Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg together twice; set aside., In a bowl, beat egg whites on medium until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high after each addition until sugar is dissolved. Continue beating until stiff peaks form., In another bowl, beat egg yolks until slightly thickened. Gradually add 1/4 cup remaining brown sugar and the vanilla, beating on high speed until thick. Fold a fourth of the egg whites into batter. Alternately fold in flour mixture and remaining whites. Fold in melted butter., Transfer to prepared pan. Bake on lowest oven rack 25-30 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Immediately poke holes in cake with a fork; slowly pour remaining sauce over cake, allowing sauce to absorb into cake. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Invert onto a serving plate. Serve with reserved sauce and, if desired, whipped cream and glazed pecans.

Add the wet ingredients to the cake mix and mix until just blended, then pour half into the prepared Bundt pan. Add the cocoa and the remaining 1 tablespoon dark rum to the remaining half of the batter, then stir to blend and pour into the prepared Bundt pan.
• Bake in the oven until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let sit for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a serving plate.
• While the cake is sitting in the pan, make the glaze: Combine the sugar, butter, 1 tablespoon water and vanilla in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened with large bubbles, about 3 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the dark rum. Drizzle the glaze over the top and sides of the cake while both are warm. Allow the cake to absorb the glaze and repeat until all the glaze is used.
