MAPLE BUNDT

Steps:

• For the bundt: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 10-inch bundt pan with nonstick baking spray. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and continue creaming, scraping down the sides of the bowl every now and again, until the mixture is light and fluffy. This can take 5 to 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt to combine. Transfer the flour mixture to a piece of parchment.
• Add the maple syrup to the butter and sugar mixture and mix to combine. Add the eggs one at time, mixing until each egg is completely incorporated and scraping down the bowl after each addition. Add half the flour mixture and mix, then the milk and vanilla and mix until incorporated. Add the remaining flour and mix until combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
• Place the bundt on a baking sheet and bake until the cake springs back when gently poked, about 1 hour. Allow the cake to rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
• For the maple glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the confectioners' sugar, maple syrup and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream until smooth. Add more heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, to thin out the glaze to the desired consistency. Once the bundt is completely cooled, place onto a serving platter and pour the glaze over top.

SWEET POTATO BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*. Grease and flour a 10- inch bundt pan. In a small non-reactive bowl, soak the raisins in the rum for at least 30 min or several hours. Meanwhile peel the sweet potatoes, cut them in half and then cut each half into 4-inch slices. Place the slices into a pot of cool salted water, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce to a gentle simmer and cook until the sweet potatoes are very tender. Drain off the water, allow the potatoes to air-dry for a few minutes, then use a pot masher or large fork to roughly mash them. Measure out 2 cups and set aside to cool.

Cool the cake in the pan set on a wire rack for 10 min, then invert onto the rack. Set the rack over a baking sheet or large plate to catch the excess glaze. This cake must be glazed while still warm, so it absorbs the maximum syrup.
• For the glaze, combine the brown sugar, butter, and cream in a small, heavy bottomed sauced pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Continue to boil until the mixture thickens somewhat, about 3 minutes, stirring often. Remove the glaze form the heat and stir in the rum. With a long wooden or metal skewer poke holes all over the cake, concentrating on the top. Spoon about half the warm glaze over the cake and let the cake and remaining glaze cool for 10 to 15 minutes, until it has thickened slightly.
• Pour the rest of the glaze over the cake, letting it dribble down the sides, then allow the cake to cool completely before cutting and serving or wrapping and storing.
