Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with cooking spray.
Step 2
Stir pecans and coconut together. Spread evenly in the prepared Bundt® pan.
Step 3
Combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, rum, coconut milk, coconut oil, and coconut extract in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer for 3 minutes, or until well incorporated, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Set on a wire rack until completely cooled, about 30 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges of pan to loosen cake. Invert carefully onto a serving plate.
Step 5
While cake is cooling make glaze. Combine butter, rum, sugar, brown sugar and water in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes.
Step 6
Using a skewer, poke holes throughout cake. Carefully spoon glaze over cake.
