Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup canned crushed pineapple, drained

1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup chopped pecans
For the Glaze:
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup dark rum
1/4 cup pineapple juice
1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk.
6. Fold in the crushed pineapple and dark rum until evenly distributed.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the top with chopped pecans.
8. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by melting the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
10. Remove from heat and stir in the dark rum, pineapple juice, and powdered sugar until smooth.
11. Once the cake is done, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack.
12. Poke small holes over the cake with a skewer and slowly drizzle the glaze over, allowing it to soak in.
13. Let the cake cool completely before serving.
