RUM POUND CAKE



Rum Pound Cake image

This recipe is from Paula Deen's magazine called Holiday Baking. This cake looked so good I couldn't wait until the holidays to make it. It was amazing! If you want to try a really nice rum for this cake, if it's available in your area (also good in eggnog) try Captain Morgan's Private Stock. It is a rum with added spices, very nice. I made the glaze with this also. I halved that recipe and it was plenty. The serving size of this depends on how big a slice you cut :) Salt is not listed as an ingredient because I use salted butter but if you use unsalted butter or just want this cake saltier add 1/2 tsp salt.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cake.
  • Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients blend together more easily.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the cake, making it lighter and more tender.
  • Gradually add the eggs, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cake from curdling.
  • Sift the flour before you add it to the batter. This will help to remove any lumps and ensure that the cake is light and airy.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Underbaking or overbaking the cake can ruin the texture and flavor.
  • Let the cake cool completely before you frost it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Rum pecan pound cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is rich, moist, and flavorful, with a hint of rum and a crunchy pecan topping. This cake is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
