Calypso Coffee Cake With Butter Rum Glaze Recipes

COFFEE CAKE WITH OAT CRUMB TOPPING AND RUM GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl and mix well. Add the butter and mix thoroughly with your fingers or a fork until all of the butter has been evenly distributed and incorporated into the flour. Form into small to medium clumps with your fingers.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch square cake pan.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.
• Beat together the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour, beating until just incorporated.
• Spoon the cake batter (it will be very thick) into the prepared pan and smooth with an offset spatula. Sprinkle on the crumb topping.
• Bake until the cake and topping are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool in the pan 20 minutes, then invert onto a plate; invert back onto a rack to cool completely.
• When the cake is cool, whisk the confectioners' sugar and rum together in a medium bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cake and let set.

Steps:

• Grease and flour a bundt pan; preheat oven to 350°F.

• While plantains are cooking, mix the streusel ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar and white sugar together.
• Add eggs, one at a time; then mix in sour cream and mashed plantains.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and ginger.
• Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined.
• Pour about 1/2 the batter in to the prepared bundt pan. Sprinkle the streusel over the cake; finally, pour remaining batter over the struesel.
• Bake at 350°F for 55 minutes or until cake tests done with toothpick test.
• Let cake cool in pan for 30 minutes.
• While cake is cooling, prepare glaze by mixing butter, brown sugar, and lime juice in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes.
• Allow to cool slightly before adding rum.
• Carefully invert cake onto plate.
• While cake is still warm, slowly drizzle the glaze over the cake, allowing it to soak in to the cake.
• When cake is completely cool, dust with confectioners sugar.

RUM CAKE WITH A BUTTER RUM GLAZE

Steps:

• Prepare the cake pan by misting with vegetable oil and placing pecans in bottom of bundt pan if desired. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, oil, 1.3 cup of rum, water, eggs, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and beat with electric mixer on low speed until the ingredients are just incorporated (about 30 seconds). Stop mixing and scrape down the sides of the bowl with rubber spatula.
• Increase the speed of the machine to medium and beat the batter until smooth (1 1/2 to 2 minutes longer).
• Pour batter into prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
• Place cake in oven and bake until the top springs back when lightly pressed with finger. Approximately 40 to 45 minutes.
• While the cake is baking, make the buttered rum glaze. Place butter in small sauce pan over low heat and stir until melted. Add the brown sugar and 3 tbsp of rum and stir to combine. Cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture boils and thickens (approx 3 minutes). Remove from heat and let the glaze cool.
• Transfer the Bundt pan to a wire rack and let cake cook for 10 minutes. The gently shake the pan and invert it on a wire rack to cool. Let cool. Cool for at least 10 minutes.
• Using wooden skewers ( I use toothpicks), poke a dozen holes in the top of the cake and very slowly pour over warm cake so that the glaze can soak into the cake.
• Store this cake in a cake saver at room temp for up to 3 days. Freeze unglazed cake for up to 3 months. Let cake thaw overnight on countertop before glazing.
