Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan or a 12-cup bundt pan. Evenly sprinkle the chopped pecans or walnuts over the bottom of the prepared pan.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, 1/2 cup of cold water, vegetable oil, and 1/2 cup of Bacardi dark rum. Mix until smooth and well blended.
4
Gently pour the cake batter over the nuts in the pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate.
6
Using a long skewer or cake tester, prick the top and sides of the cake to create small holes for the glaze to penetrate.

To make the glaze, melt 1/4 lb of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly for 5 minutes.
8
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup of Bacardi dark rum.
9
Spoon and brush the warm glaze evenly over the top and sides of the cake. Allow the cake to absorb the glaze, repeating the process until all the glaze is used up.
