RUM CAKE

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350°F/180°C. Grease well a 12-cup (10-inch) bundt pan and set aside.
• To make the cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter, oil, and sugar for 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Occasionally scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add heavy cream (or milk), rum, and vanilla, and beat until combined. On low speed, beat in the flour mixture and mix just until combined.
• Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. If the top is browning too fast while baking, cover pan loosely with aluminum foil.
• While the cake is in the oven, make the syrup: In a small saucepan, combine butter, water, and sugar. Cook on medium-low heat until sugar dissolves and syrup forms. Turn off heat and mix in rum. Set aside until the cake is ready.
• When the cake is out of the oven pour about half of the syrup gently and slowly over the cake. Allow cake to cool for 10-15 minutes, then, run a knife gently around the edges of the cake, and remove cake from pan, carefully inverting it onto a plate. After inverting the cake, brush top and sides of the cake evenly with the rest of the syrup. Allow cake to cool to room temperature.
• The cake is best served at room temperature. Store cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Leftovers can be frozen for up to 2 months.

RUM CAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast with the milk. Allow it to proof in a warm place for 10 minutes. Mix in the flour and eggs, beating well until dough is smooth. Cover the bowl, and let rise at room temperature for 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush 6 individual savarin molds or ramekins with butter.
• Mix 5 tablespoons softened butter, the salt, and sugar into the dough, slapping it against the sides of the bowl. Fill molds almost full with the dough. Let the dough rise until molds are full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown and a small knife or wooden skewer can be inserted in cake and removed cleanly.
• To make the syrup: Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from heat and cool until lukewarm. Add the vanilla and rum.
• Brush the cakes with the syrup, let it soak in, then brush again. Repeat until all the syrup is used or the cakes will absorb no more syrup. Place the soaked cakes on individual plates. Garnish with Blood Orange Marmalade and whipped mascarpone.
• Slice the fruit very thin on a slicer or with a very sharp blade, removing all seeds as you go.
• You should have approximately 2 1/2 pounds of fruit. For every pound of fruit add 2 pints of water in a large heavy bottomed pot. Add the vanilla beans and cinnamon. Bring to a boil and cook until the fruit skin is tender, approximately 10 minutes. Remove from heat, cool and refrigerate overnight.
• Weigh the fruit and water mixture. You should have approximately 5 pounds. For each pound of fruit and water, add 1 pound of sugar. Bring to a boil and then continue to cook over medium heat, stirring frequently. To test, drip a small amount of the syrup onto a cool plate. When it's the consistency of honey at room temperature, it is ready (about 1 hour or more). Remove from heat and allow to cool. Leftover marmalade will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks.

CHERRY & RUM CAKE

Steps:

• Drain black cherries - drain the juice into a bowl and store for later. Pour a bit of dark rum over cherries, cover them and let them rest until the sponge is ready.
• Mix the eggs with sugar until foam is formed - you can use mixer for this. Add cocoa, flour, baking powder and oil.
• Cover your tin with a non stick baking paper and then pour the mixture into the tin, alternatively you can grease the tin and sprinkle it with breadcrumbs to avoid burning the pastry.
• Heat the oven to 200 C. It takes around 20mins to bake the sponge, but keep checking it frequently by sticking a tooth pick into the mixture.
• Once sponge is ready, let it cool down.
• Mix the juice from the tinned cherries with 2 table spoons of corn flour, 1/4 tea spoon of cinammon and vanilla sugar and cook until thick. Take off heat and add the rum-soaked cherries. Leave a few cherries for decoration. Let the filling cool down.
• Once the sponge has cooled down, cut it either into two or three layers, depending on the diameter of your tin. Spread the cooled cherry filling and some of the whipped cream onto the sponge.
• Spread whipped cream over the cake to cover it completely, then sprinkle it with grated chocolate.
• Decorate top of the cake with rest of the whipped cream and rest of the cherries, alternatively you can also use glazed cherries for decoration.
