  • 2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chip optional

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat the over at 350 degrees.
  2. 2
    In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla extract, eggs, sugar, instant pudding mix, vegetable oil, buttermilk, rum and butter. Once the ingredients are mixed smoothly (no lumps/clumps) add in the chocolate chips & chopped hazelnuts.
  3. 3
    Pour mixture into a cake pan - make sure the cake pan is buttered - then stick into the oven. It should take about 45 minutes to an hour. Check by sticking a toothpick in the middle of the cake. The toothpick should come out clean.
  4. 4
    While the cake is baking work on the rum glaze. In a saucepan mix the sugar, butter & water until combined. Over medium heat, let this mixture come to a boil until the sugar is dissolved. Once the sugar is dissolved stir in the rum.
  5. 5
    Take the cake out of the oven & poke several holes in the cake using a fork or toothpick. This will allow the glaze to soak through. Pour rum glaze over the cake.
