Caramel Rum Glaze Recipes

RUM CARAMEL CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 3 (8-inch) round cake pans with nonstick butter-flavored baking spray; set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat cake mix, rum, water, eggs, and oil on low speed with an electric mixer for 30 seconds. Scrape down sides of bowl and beat for 2 more minutes on medium speed.
• Divide batter evenly between prepared cake pans. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until tester comes away clean. Cool completely before icing.
• For the icing:
• In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter with brown sugar and rum extract. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add milk and bring to a hard boil. Stirring constantly, until sugar is completely dissolved; about 2 minutes.
• Let cool to room temperature and transfer to a medium bowl. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat in powdered sugar until smooth. If too thick, add a little milk. If too thin, add a little powdered sugar.
• Using an offset spatula, evenly spread icing on top of each cake round. Stack and ice the top of the cake. You may have frosting leftover.

CARAMEL-RUM GLAZE

Steps:

• Bring first 3 ingredients to a boil in a 2-qt. saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly; boil, whisking constantly, 1 minute.
• Remove from heat; gradually whisk in powdered sugar and rum until smooth.
• Whisk gently 3 to 5 minutes or until mixture begins to cool, thickens slightly, and lighten in color a bit. Use immediately before it hardens.

RUM CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and hot water in a heavy saucepan, and cook over high heat until the sugar has dissolved, about 1 minute. Continue to cook, swirling the pan occasionally but never stirring the sugar mixture, until the mixture thickens and turns a deep amber color, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and immediately add the heavy cream (be careful -- the mixture will splatter). Return the pan to the heat and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the sauce is thick and creamy, stirring occasionally to help incorporate the cream, about 5 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the rum, vanilla, and butter. Serve warm.

• Melt butter in a saucepan. Add white and brown sugars and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Stir in cream and return to a boil. Boil, stirring constantly, for exactly 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in salt.
• Allow glaze to cool completely, 30 to 45 minutes. Place in the refrigerator to chill, 8 hours to overnight.

RUM-CARAMEL GLAZE

Steps:

• Heat sugar and the water in a heavy saucepan over medium, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and syrup is clear. Stop stirring, and cook until syrup comes to a boil, washing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystals from forming. Continue to boil, gently swirling occasionally to color evenly, until mixture is medium amber. Remove from heat. Carefully stir in rum and cream (the mixture will spatter) with a wooden spoon until smooth. Let cool, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 to 10 minutes.

• Line 9-inch square pan with cooking parchment paper; grease paper with shortening.
• In small saucepan, heat sugar, water and lemon juice to boiling over medium-high heat. Boil 8 to 10 minutes or until sugar begins to brown. (Do not stir.) Stir in whipping cream and 2 tablespoons of the butter; remove from heat. Let stand, stirring constantly, until caramel is no longer bubbling.
• In large microwavable bowl, microwave condensed milk and chocolate chips uncovered on High 3 minutes, stirring at 1-minute intervals. Stir in rum, remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons butter and the salt. Immediately pour into pan. Immediately pour caramel over chocolate mixture; gently swirl with knife. Cover; refrigerate 2 to 4 hours.
• Cut fudge into pieces; wrap in cooking parchment paper. Store covered in refrigerator up to 1 week. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes before serving.

CARAMEL-GLAZED FLAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a heavy skillet over medium-low heat, cook and stir sugar until melted and light brown. Carefully pour into a 9-inch round baking dish, tilting the dish to coat the bottom completely.
• In a medium bowl, beat egg yolks and egg whites. Stir in water, condensed milk, vanilla and salt until smooth. Pour into prepared dish. Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place baking dish on towel, inside roasting pan, and place roasting pan on oven rack. Fill roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven 1 hour, until center is just set (still a bit jiggly). Remove dish to a wire rack to cool for one hour. Then refrigerate several hours or overnight.
• To unmold, run a knife around the edge of the pan and invert onto a rimmed serving platter.

COCONUT RUM-RAISIN BUNDT CAKE WITH RUM-CARAMEL GLAZE

Cook, without stirring, until syrup comes to a boil, washing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystals from forming. Let boil, gently swirling, until medium amber.
