Steps:
- 1 For the syrup: Combine the granulated sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves, then increase the heat to high and bring to a rolling boil
- 2 Immediately remove from the heat; cool to room temperature
- 3 Meanwhile, make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- 4 Use some butter to grease your 8-inch cake pan, then line the bottom with parchment paper
- 5 Lightly butter the paper, too
- 6 Combine the 9 tablespoons of butter and the granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer or handheld electric mixer; beat on medium-low speed until creamy and smooth
- 7 Add the almond meal/flour, beating until well incorporated, and then the eggs in three or four additions, beating until well incorporated
- 8 Add the flour and 3 tablespoons of the rum; increase the speed to medium and beat just long enough to create a smooth, thick batter
- 9 Transfer the batter to the pan, spreading it evenly
- 10 Bake (middle rack) for 40 to 45 minutes -- just until set in the center and the cake begins to pull away from the sides of the pan
- 11 The finished cake should be a deep blond/golden color
- 12 If the cake seems to be browning too quickly in the last 10 or 15 minutes of oven time, cover it loosely with aluminum foil
- 13 Stir 4 tablespoons of the remaining rum into the cooled sugar syrup
- 14 As soon as the cake is out of the oven, slide a knife around the edges to loosen it from the sides of the pan
- 15 Carefully turn out onto a wire cooling rack, quickly peel off the parchment paper and then turn it top side up onto a second rack seated in a rimmed baking sheet
- 16 Immediately brush about half of the rum-infused sugar syrup all over the cake
- 17 Let it cool completely; then brush it again with the remaining syrup (you may not use quite all of it)
- 18 To make the icing, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and the remaining rum in a bowl, until very smooth, adding just enough water to create a thick yet drizzling consistency (like royal icing)
- 19 Use a spatula or offset knife to spread the icing over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides
- 20 Let the cake rest for a day, so the syrup can fully soak in
- 21 The icing will set, helping to keep the cake moist
- 22 When ready to serve, cut into thin wedges

GATEAU NANTAIS
I learned this recipe on an exchange I took to France last year, a specialty of the city of Nantes which in days long ago was a port where things such as rum, almonds, and slaves were traded. The icing was a bit strong for me at first, but I took a liking to it. It was a hit with everyone who tried it when I got back. The French really know how to cook from scratch!
