Comfort Cake

My sister Judy told me to look this one up because it is really good and she was right! This is another poundcake-ish cake:

Cake:
18 oz yellow cake mix
3 1/2 oz instant vanilla pudding
4 eggs
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup Southern Comfort (two little airline bottles)
1 cup nuts chopped fine

Preheat oven to 325 F
combine cake ingredients and beat for two minutes.
Pour into a greased and floured 10 cup tube pan or 12 cup bundt pan.
Bake for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean (mine took about 40 minutes in a convection oven).
Cool for 15 minutes and invert on plate.
Prick top gently with a fork and spread half of the glaze over the top and sides.

Glaze:
melt 1/4 cup butter
add 1/8 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
Boil one minute, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and add 1/4 cup Southern Comfort

Cool cake completely.

Reheat glaze and brush on cooled cake again.

Before serving, sift confection sugar over the cake.

There were a lot of Southern Comfort cake recipes on line, and they were all pretty much the same. I ended up using the one on www.Grouprecipes.com. Hope you like it!
