Southern Hot Buttered Rum Recipes

HOT BUTTERED RUM

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer, beat the brown sugar, butter, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt in a medium bowl until blended and smooth. Transfer the mixture to a 4-cup (or larger) measuring cup. Add the rum and then 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until the butter mixture dissolves. Divide the buttered rum among 4 mugs. Garnish with the cinnamon sticks and serve.

HOT BUTTERED RUM CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
• Spray a 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray and sprinkle the bottom with the chopped pecans. Set aside.
• Combine the flour, dry milk, cornstarch, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Cream the butter and sugar together in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until light and fluffy.
• Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined. (It will look like crumb topping.)
• Whisk together the milk, rum, oil, vanilla and eggs in another bowl.
• Slowly add the liquid mixture to the crumb mixture and mix until combined. (Pouring the liquid in slowly is important. The batter has a high ratio of liquid and will be thin almost like a thick crepe batter, but if you add the liquid too quickly you will get lumps that never go away no matter the amount of mixing!)
• Pour the batter into the pan and bake until the top is golden, center is set and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted, 50 to 60 minutes.
• Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack. Poke holes all over the cake using a wooden skewer.
• For the buttered rum sauce: Meanwhile, add the butter, honey, cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, nutmeg, salt and 1/3 cup water to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the honey has dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the rum. (It is going to bubble and splatter a little, so be careful.)
• Clean and dry the Bundt pan, then place the cooled cake back inside the pan. Poke a few holes in the top. Evenly pour the rum sauce over the cake. Let the cake sit to absorb the sauce, 30 minutes or up to overnight.
• Invert the cake back onto a cake plate and serve at room temperature. (See Cook's Note.)
