Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1 1/2 cups butter, softened and divided
- 1 (16 ounce) package light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup sugar, divided
- 4 eggs
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/4 cup dark rum
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
1 GREASE and flour 2 (6-cup) Bundt pans or 2 (9- x 5-inch) loaf pans, and sprinkle evenly with pecans.
2 BEAT 11/4 cups butter at medium speed with an electric mixer about 2 minutes or until creamy. Gradually add brown sugar and 1/4 cup sugar, beating 5 to 7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until yellow disappears.
3 COMBINE milk, dark rum, and vanilla.
