RUM POUND CAKE



Rum Pound Cake image

This recipe is from Paula Deen's magazine called Holiday Baking. This cake looked so good I couldn't wait until the holidays to make it. It was amazing! If you want to try a really nice rum for this cake, if it's available in your area (also good in eggnog) try Captain Morgan's Private Stock. It is a rum with added spices, very nice. I made the glaze with this also. I halved that recipe and it was plenty. The serving size of this depends on how big a slice you cut :) Salt is not listed as an ingredient because I use salted butter but if you use unsalted butter or just want this cake saltier add 1/2 tsp salt.

Tips:

  • Before you start baking, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. This helps to ensure that the cake batter mixes evenly and bakes properly.
  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture. This includes using real butter, fresh eggs, and good-quality rum.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This helps to ensure that the cake rises evenly and doesn't sink in the middle.
  • Don't open the oven door during the first 30 minutes of baking. This can cause the cake to fall.
  • When the cake is done baking, let it cool completely before glazing it. This helps to prevent the glaze from cracking.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
