Ingredients

Cake:

1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 cup mashed bananas
⅔ cup dark rum
⅔ cup water
⅓ cup chopped pecans
2 large eggs
¼ teaspoon baking soda

Frosting:

⅓ cup unsalted butter, softened
3 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons dark rum
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Make the cake: Stir cake mix, bananas, rum, water, pecans, eggs, and baking soda in a large bowl until combined, then beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 to 4 minutes. Pour into the prepared pans.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool pans on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen cakes; invert carefully onto a cooling rack and let cool completely, about 25 more minutes.
Meanwhile, make the frosting: Beat butter in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually mix in confectioners sugar; blend thoroughly. Mix in rum and vanilla until smooth.
Spread frosting on cooled cake tops, then stack layers and frost sides.

Tips

If you'd like to use a Bundt pan, bake for about 50 minutes.
