Kings Crown Butter Rum Cake From Scratch Recipes

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.)

Steps:

• I do it by hand just using a wire whip but you can use a Mixer. Just remember DO NOT OVER MIX --
• Beat Butter and Sugar until thoroughly blended then add Eggs One at a time then the Vanilla Extract. Sift together all Dry Ingredients -- Alternately Mix flour and double cream to butter mixture. Pour into Disposable 4 loaf tin pans or 7 cup bunt pan greased and floured. Bake onto a 350 degree oven for 30-40 minutes --
• Rum Syrup.
• Boil together all Ingredients --
• Invert bunt pan drizzle Rum Syrup repeat until it is really soaked.
• When using a disposable tin just ladle syrup on to baked cake -- .

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*F.
• Grease 2 8" round cake pans.
• Combine the first 5 ingredients; set aside.
• Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream 10 Tbsp.
• butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup brown sugar until light and fluffy.
• Blend in the eggs one at a time.
• Add 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup (4 T) rum, and 1 tsp.
• vanilla; blend well.
• Reduce mixer speed to medium; gradually beat in the flour mixture.
• Spread batter evenly in the prepared pans.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• Meanwhile, in a saucepan, heat the remaining butter, brown sugar, and rum over low heat until the butter is melted.
• With a skewer, poke holes in tops of cakes in pans; brush with 1/2 the rum mixture.
• Cool 5 minutes on racks; invert onto wire racks-bottom sides up.
• Poke holes in bottoms of cakes; brush with remaining rum syrup.
• Cool completely.
• With an electric mixer on high speed, beat the remaining heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla until stiff.
• Place one cake layer on a serving platter; spread with 1 cup of the whipped cream.
• Top with the other cake layer.
• Transfer 1 cup of the whipped cream to a pastry bag fitted with a rose or star tip.
• Spread top and sides of cake with remaining whipped cream.
• Pipe rosettes on top of the cake; sprinkle each with colored sugar.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush the inside of a 12-cup-capacity nonstick Bundt pan with softened butter, and coat the pan with the 2 ounces of toasted almond slices. Stir together the flour, ground almonds, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
• Cream the two sticks of butter and the sugar in a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs and yolks a few at a time, letting them get incorporated before adding more. When all the eggs and yolks have been added, add the lemon zest and beat on high for 1 minute. Pour in half of the flour with the mixer on low speed. Once the flour is incorporated, pour in the milk. Finish with the remaining flour, and mix just until you have a smooth batter.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and bake until a tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes. Cool the pan on a rack for 15 minutes. Loosen the sides of the cake with a paring knife, and invert onto the rack.
• Make the syrup while the cake is still warm: Combine 2 cups water, the sugar, and the rum in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, and cook down by about a quarter, or until you have a thin syrup. Transfer the warm cake to a rimmed plate or baking sheet. Brush the cake with the syrup, letting the cake soak up the syrup for a few minutes between brushings, until all the syrup is used.
