Vegan Rum Cake!


This cake is delicious. It's so good in fact, i am going to have to limit myself to only making it on special occasions- thanksgiving, christmas, my birthday. It's clearly not something i eat all the time.

Cake-
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1 box vegan yellow cake mix (or use a recipe for a vegan yellow/white cake)
2 servings EnerG Egg Replacer
1/2 can coconut milk
1/2 cup vegan butter (i like the vegan smart balance, personally)
1/2 cup rum

Glaze-
1/2 cup vegan butter
1/4 cup water
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup rum (unless you just get a little heavy handed....) :)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a nonstick coating in a Bundt pan. Make your two "eggs" as per instruction on the box. Mix all of the cake ingredients together and beat on high with an electric mixer (something like two minutes). Pour into your prepared pan and bake for one hour or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Invert onto a serving plate. Then make your glaze. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in the water and brown sugar and boil for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add the rum being careful of the steam that will rise from your saucepan.

Enjoy!
