Butter Rum Cake From Scratch Recipes

BUTTERED RUM CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter and flour a bundt pan or liberally spray with baking spray. Sprinkle pecans evenly on bottom. Set aside.
• Using an electric mix, cream together butter, sugar and vanilla on medium-high for 2 minutes, or until creamy. Add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition.
• In a separate bowl, sift together flour, pudding mix, baking powder, baking soda and salt. A whisk works perfectly.
• Whisk together buttermilk and rum.
• With the mixer on low speed gradually add dry ingredients alternately with wet ingredients beginning and ending with flour. After all is added, beat just until fully combined stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl occasionally.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes back clean.
• About 10 minutes before the cake is finished baking, make the buttered rum glaze.
• To make the glaze: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the sugar, water and pumpkin pie spice. Bring to a boil, then lower to medium cooking for 3 minutes, whisking occasionally. Remove from heat and add rum. Be careful the mixture may foam up. Continue to stir until foam dies down, placing back onto the stovetop with the heat turned off. Cook for 1 minute then set aside.
• When cake is finished baking, remove from the oven. Use a long thin skewer to poke holes over the bottom of the cake. Slowly pour 1/2 buttered rum glaze over bottom of cake allowing it to soak in between pours. Let cake sit for 1 hour to cool in the pan.
• Carefully turn cake onto a platter or stand. Use the same skewer to poke holes in the top of the cake. Try to poke between the pecans. Slowly pour remaining glaze into holes on top of cake. Be patient this will take several minutes. The slower you go, the more glaze goes into the cake and doesn't pool on platter. (It may be necessary to warm the glaze slightly before pouring onto the top.)
• Once cooled, cover and chill for at least 1 day. The rum flavor mellows the longer this cake proofs.

HOT BUTTERED RUM CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
• Spray a 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray and sprinkle the bottom with the chopped pecans. Set aside.
• Combine the flour, dry milk, cornstarch, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Cream the butter and sugar together in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until light and fluffy.
• Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined. (It will look like crumb topping.)
• Whisk together the milk, rum, oil, vanilla and eggs in another bowl.
• Slowly add the liquid mixture to the crumb mixture and mix until combined. (Pouring the liquid in slowly is important. The batter has a high ratio of liquid and will be thin almost like a thick crepe batter, but if you add the liquid too quickly you will get lumps that never go away no matter the amount of mixing!)
• Pour the batter into the pan and bake until the top is golden, center is set and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted, 50 to 60 minutes.
• Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack. Poke holes all over the cake using a wooden skewer.
• For the buttered rum sauce: Meanwhile, add the butter, honey, cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, nutmeg, salt and 1/3 cup water to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the honey has dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the rum. (It is going to bubble and splatter a little, so be careful.)
• Clean and dry the Bundt pan, then place the cooled cake back inside the pan. Poke a few holes in the top. Evenly pour the rum sauce over the cake. Let the cake sit to absorb the sauce, 30 minutes or up to overnight.
• Invert the cake back onto a cake plate and serve at room temperature. (See Cook's Note.)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush the inside of a 12-cup-capacity nonstick Bundt pan with softened butter, and coat the pan with the 2 ounces of toasted almond slices. Stir together the flour, ground almonds, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
• Cream the two sticks of butter and the sugar in a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs and yolks a few at a time, letting them get incorporated before adding more. When all the eggs and yolks have been added, add the lemon zest and beat on high for 1 minute. Pour in half of the flour with the mixer on low speed. Once the flour is incorporated, pour in the milk. Finish with the remaining flour, and mix just until you have a smooth batter.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and bake until a tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes. Cool the pan on a rack for 15 minutes. Loosen the sides of the cake with a paring knife, and invert onto the rack.
• Make the syrup while the cake is still warm: Combine 2 cups water, the sugar, and the rum in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, and cook down by about a quarter, or until you have a thin syrup. Transfer the warm cake to a rimmed plate or baking sheet. Brush the cake with the syrup, letting the cake soak up the syrup for a few minutes between brushings, until all the syrup is used.
