NEE'S HOT BUTTERED RUM CAKE



Nee's Hot Buttered Rum Cake image

My grandmother always had requests for this recipe and being the "teetotaler" that she was, refused to use rum. We always got a huge kick out of that. She substituted rum flavoring in this recipe. I decided to post the original recipe with rum. Substitute if you like....it's just as good. It does take a while to make and MAKE SURE TO READ THE FULL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE STARTING....I really messed up the first time I made it, believe me.

Time 3h

Yield 1 10 inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup butter, softened
2 1/2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup light rum (you can use up to 1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Cream butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add sugar and beat on medium speed for 5 minutes.
  • Add eggs one at a time.
  • In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and whisk until blended.
  • Add the dry mixture to the butter, alternating with the cup of buttermilk until well blended.
  • Stir in vanilla.
  • Using a 10-inch tube pan or a 12-cup Bundt pan (greased and floured to prevent sticking), pour batter into pan and bake at 325° for one hour.
  • Cool for 15 minutes on a wire rack, then transfer to cake plate and cool completely.
  • THIS IS THE TRICKY PART---once cake has cooled completely, return it to the baking pan and prick holes at 1-inch intervals with a wooden pick or skewer.
  • Pour 2/3 of the sauce mixture over the cake allowing it to soak into the holes.
  • After this has set for about 15 minutes, remove the cake from the pan again and place it on your cake plate and pour the remaining butter sauce over the cake.
  • FOR SAUCE: Combine sugar, butter and water in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves; stirring constantly.
  • Once this thickens, remove from the heat and add the rum.
  • Stir well.

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 3h45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

225g unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
225g light muscovado sugar
4 large eggs, beaten
225g plain flour
2 tsp ground mixed spice
zest 1 small orange
85g pecans or walnuts, toasted, then roughly chopped
150ml cloudy apple juice
50g unsalted butter
2 tbsp maple syrup
5 tbsp dark rum
800g mixed dried fruit (the kind that includes mixed peel)
175g dried cranberries
2 tbsp dark rum
1 tbsp maple syrup

Steps:

  • Start with the fruit. Pour the apple juice into a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add the butter, let it melt, then take off the heat and add the syrup and rum. Put the mixed fruit and cranberries into a large bowl, pour over the hot rum mix, then cover tightly with cling film and leave overnight.
  • The next day, heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease and double-line a 20cm round, deep cake tin with non-stick baking parchment. Beat the butter and sugar together until creamy and pale, then gradually beat in the eggs until light and fluffy. If the mix starts to split or look lumpy, add 1 tbsp of the flour and keep beating. Sift in the flour, spices and ¼ tsp salt, and fold in using a large spoon. Fold in the orange zest, nuts, soaked fruit and soaking liquid.
  • Spoon the batter into the tin, level the top, then make a slight dimple in the middle using the back of the spoon. Bake for 1 hr 30 mins, then reduce oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 1 and bake for a further 1 hr 45 mins or until it has risen, is a dark golden colour and a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Put the tin on a cooling rack and leave until warm.
  • To feed the cake the first time, use a cocktail stick to poke all over the top of the warm cake. Stir together the rum and maple syrup, then slowly spoon over the cake. Cool completely, then remove the baking parchment, wrap loosely in clean baking parchment and store in an airtight tin. Feed the cake every week to 10 days until you decorate it.
  • To cover, ice and decorate your cake, see 'goes well with' for instructions on how to make our Midwinter candle cake, Sparkly bauble cake or Sparkling snowfetti cake.

Yield Makes ten 4 1/2-inch cheesecakes

Number Of Ingredients 20

Crust
5 1/2 cups finely ground gingersnap cookies (about 1 3/4 pounds)
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
Filling
1/2 cup dark rum
4 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature
1 1 /2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/3 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
2 1/2 cups sour cream
7 tablespoons sugar
1 3/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
Rum-Caramel Sauce

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Blend ground cookies and both sugars in processor. Add butter and process to blend. Divide cookie mixture among ten 4 1/2-inch-diameter springform pans with 1 1/2-inch-high sides (about 1/2 cup packed per pan). Press crust onto bottoms and up sides of pans.
  • For filling:
  • Position racks in top and bottom thirds of oven; preheat to 325°F. Boil rum in small saucepan until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 1 minute. Cool.
  • Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese in large bowl on low speed until smooth. Gradually beat in sugar. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating on low speed just to blend after each addition, occasionally scraping sides of bowl. Beat in spices, then cream, vanilla, and cooled rum just to blend. Divide filling among prepared crusts (about 1 cup per pan).
  • Place cheesecakes on 2 rimmed baking sheets. Bake until tops appear set, puffed, and golden at edges but still move slightly in center when shaken, reversing sheets after 20 minutes, about 40 minutes total. Cool 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare topping:
  • Whisk sour cream, sugar, and vanilla in large bowl. Divide topping among hot cheesecakes, about 1/4 cup each, spreading to meet edges of crusts. Bake 10 minutes. Run knife around each cake to loosen crust from pan. Place hot cheesecakes directly in refrigerator.
  • Chill uncovered overnight. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover; keep chilled.) Serve with Rum-Caramel Sauce.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark rum.
  • If you don't have any rum extract, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  • To make sure the cake is evenly moistened, poke holes in the top of the cake with a toothpick before pouring the rum glaze over it.
  • If you want a thicker glaze, simmer it for a few minutes until it reduces slightly.
  • Serve the cake warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Hot buttered rum cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist, flavorful, and easy to make. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious cake that will impress your friends and family.
