Hi All, I found this recipe the other day and thought it sounded yummy. But I haven't made it yet. So if anyone makes it before Thanksgiving please write and let me know. I might make it for Turkey day. Here goes:
Brown Sugar Pound Cake with Rum Sauce
1 Cup (2 sticks) Butter, softened
2 Cups Dark Brown Sugar, firmly packged
1 Cup Granulated Sugar
6 Large Eggs
3 Cups All Purpose Flour
1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp Salt
1 Cup Milk
2 Tsp Vanilla
Caramel Rum Sauce
1/2 Cup Whipping Cream
1/2 Cup Butter
1/2 Cup Dark Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
2 TBSP Light Corn Syrup
3 TBSP Dark Rum
Preheat over to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 10" tube pan. Cream butter and sugars until very light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine dry ingredients, then add to batter alternately with milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Add vanilla. Fill prepared pan and bake for 1 hour and 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool cake completely then remove from pan. To serve, drizzle with Rum Sauce.
To prepare Caramel Rum Sauce: combine cream, butter, sugars, corn syrup and rum in heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking occasionally. Cover and continue to boil for 1 minute to wash sugar crystals from the sides of the pan. Uncover and continue to boil for 3-4 minutes without stirring. Cool slightly. Drizzle over cake.
Happy Cooking!
