Rum Cake

This Rum Cake recipe was given to me by my Very Dear Knitting Friend MaryJane.


RUM CAKE



1 cup chopped pecans

1 pkg french vanilla instant pudding

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup oil

1 pkg yellow cake mix

1/2 cup dark run

4 eggs



sprinkle chopped pecans on bottom of a greased bunt or tube pan.

Mix together cake mix, pudding, water, oil and rum.

Beat in eggs one at a time. Pour into pan and bake for 1 hour at 325.



let cool (about 20 minutes is enough)



sauce: 1 stick margarine or butter

1 cup sugar ( I use dark brown sugar)

1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup rum ( I use 1/2 cup of rum)

boil ingredients together in a sauce pan. Pour over cake while

it is still in the pan… it will soak into the cake ( I use a long tined fork

to poke holes all over the cake top and as much of the sides as I can).



Let it cool completely in the pan before removing.

I quite often bake this cake at night and let it soak all night long.



It really is a favorite with this family. I even catch folks having it for breakfast.



the alcohol is all cooked off but it sure tastes wonderful and rich.

Hunting hat

My son likes to hunt pheasants, and ducks. He needed a new hunting cap this year. So I knit him an orange hat for hunting. I used Red Heart yarn in the color Pumpkin. The perfect color for hunters. They need to be seen by other hunters, that is why they wear the orange. This is a simple 2 x 2 rib hat. I know that he will love the hat.
