Directions

Prepare the cake: Preheat oven to 325ºF. In the bottom of a greased and floured 10-inch Bundt pan, sprinkle pecans; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine remaining cake ingredients. Beat for 30 seconds at Low speed of an electric mixer; then beat 2 minutes at Medium speed.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour.

Cool cake in pan 10 minutes. Remove from pan, and let cool completely on wire rack.

Using a meat fork or wooden pick, pierce cake at 1-inch intervals. Prepare glaze and spoon over cake.

Prepare the glaze: Melt butter in a heavy saucepan. Stir in orange juice and sugar; bring to a boil. Boil 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in orange rind and Triple Sec. Spoon over cake.
