Since the current Low Budget Holiday Season of 2008 is in full swing, I am going to bake my way through it. This cake recipe is easy and will definitely be the talk of the party. I like it because it is cheaper than scratch baking, saves time, and tastes great.
I like to bake this cake in mini pans so they are easy to give away or bundle up.
This tasty treat also goes great with a cup of hot coffee splashed with a shot of (or two) your favorite creme liqueur.
Ok, here we go...
Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.
You need,
1 box of Spice Cake mix, any brand will do
1 small box of Pumpkin Spice Instant Pudding mix
4 large brown eggs
1 1/4 cups of orange juice
1/4 cup of Spiced Rum
1/3 cup of oil
1 cup of pecan pieces
1. Spray a bundt pan or muffin tins mini cake molds with non stick baking spray and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pudding and pecan pieces. Stir to coat pecans with cake mix.
Add eggs, oil, orange juice and Spiced Rum. Mix with a hand mixer for 2 minutes. Scrape sides down if needed.
Pour batter into cake pan, tins or molds. Do not fill tin or mold to the top. About 2/3 works great.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. All ovens vary, check with a tooth pick. Shorten cook time for cupcakes or mini cakes by 15 minutes.
Once the cakes have cooled completely, drizzle with Rum Glaze.
To make glaze add 1 tablespoon of rum as needed to 1/2 cup of powdered sugar until you get the consistency the way you like it. Some like it thin or thicker.
