Rum Flavored Icing Recipes

RUM CAKE WITH RUM GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine butter, shortening, and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer (or mixing bowl and hand mixer). Beat well, until blended.
• Add eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly between additions.
• Add flour. Combine. Add buttermilk. Combine.
• Next, add baking soda, salt, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Mix to combine.
• Lastly, beat in the rum and pour into a buttered and floured bundt pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees F. for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Spoon over the cake while still warm.
• Make a second batch of the rum glaze. Allow it to cool and whisk it with powdered sugar until it's a pourable icing consistency. Add more powdered sugar for a thicker icing. Drizzle over cake. Enjoy!

RUM ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Bring cream, milk, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and nutmeg to a simmer in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring.
• Meanwhile, whisk together eggs, remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add cream mixture in a slow stream, whisking. Return to saucepan and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until mixture coats back of spoon and registers 175°F on an instant-read thermometer (do not boil).
• Immediately strain custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a metal bowl. Stir in rum and chill custard at least 6 hours.
• Freeze in ice cream maker, then transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden, about 2 hours.
