Luscious, moist banana cake with chopped pecans and a little rum. The good news is it starts with a cake mix and it's quick and easy to make! I like to bake it in a bundt pan, but you could also make cupcakes or bake it in two cake pans for a layer cake, then just frost it with a simple vanilla glaze. Serves a crowd, great for a pot luck!
