Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease bundt pan.
Place nuts in the bottom of the bundt pan.
Combine- cake mix, pudding, 1/2c water. Mix on
medium speed. Add 1/2c oil and 1/2c rum. Continue
mixing on medium speed for 1-2 mins. Add eggs in
one at a time, mixing well after each. Bake at 325
degrees for 1hr, or until cooked thru. While the
cake is baking, make the syrup- combine the last
four ingredients (1c sugar, 1stick butter, 1/4c
light rum, 1/4c water) in a sauce pan over med-low
heat. Bring to a boil, let boil for 2mins. remove
from heat. When the cake is finished cooking, pour
the syrup over the cake immediately (while still
in the bundt pan). I poke holes into the cake with
a fork, then pour the syrup over. Make sure the
bundt pan is on a plate or tray, because the syrup
will spill over. Cool for at least 30mins before
removing from bundt pan.
