Cake Ingredients

1/2 cup pecans chopped
1/2 cup sweetened coconut lightly toasted
1 box vanilla or white cake mix
3.4 ounces package instant coconut cream or vanilla pudding mix
4 large eggs
1/2 cup coconut rum
1/2 cup coconut milk like Silk
1/2 cup liquid coconut oil
1 teaspoon coconut extract

Glaze Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar, granulated
1/2 cup coconut rum
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup water

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a Bundt pan. Sprinkle the coconut and pecans evenly over the bottom of the pan and set aside.
Combine the remaining cake ingredients in a large bowl and beat using your hand mixer or stand mixer until well incorporated.
Pour into the prepared Bundt cake pan and bake for 45-60 minutes or until a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean. While cooling, prepare glaze.
For the glaze, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the water and sugars. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in the rum.
Use a skewer to poke holes all over the bottom of the cake while in the pan.
Then pour half the glaze all over the cake. Let the cake cool completely and soak before removing from the pan.
Then boil the remaining half of the glaze for 5 more minutes and set aside to pour on top of the cake.
Do not refrigerate. Use a small rubber spatula or flexible knife to loosen it from the sides of the pan, then gently flip it onto a serving dish and remove it from the pan. Be patient, it might take quite a few seconds to loosen due to the stickiness from the glaze.
Finish by drizzling the rest of the glaze over the top of the cake. Enjoy!
