Ingredients

• 1 Cup pecans, minced
• 15.25 Ounces (oz) yellow cake mix, packaged
• 3.4 Ounces (oz) instant vanilla pudding mix, packaged
• 4 Large eggs
• 0.75 Cups (cup) Irish cream liqueur
• 0.5 Cups (cup) vegetable oil
• 0.25 Cups (cup) water
• 1 Cup white sugar
• 0.5 Cups (cup) butter, melted
• 0.25 Cups (cup) water
• 0.25 Cups (cup) Irish cream liqueur

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Generously grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan using cooking spray. Evenly distribute the minced pecans over the bottom of the pan for a nutty base.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the packaged yellow cake mix and packaged instant vanilla pudding mix. Add the large eggs, Irish cream liqueur, vegetable oil, and water. Beat the mixture on high speed with an electric mixer for 5 minutes until smooth and well combined.
3. Pour the batter over the pecans in the prepared Bundt pan. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
5. While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the white sugar, melted butter, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Continue boiling for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in the Irish cream liqueur.
6. Carefully invert the cake onto a serving dish. Use a toothpick to prick the top and sides of the cake, allowing the glaze to penetrate. Spoon the glaze over the top and brush it onto the sides, letting the cake absorb the glaze. Repeat this process until all the glaze is used.
7. Allow the cake to sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld and the glaze set. Enjoy this decadent treat with a cup of coffee or a glass of Irish cream liqueur for an extra indulgent experience.
