This is a very tasty cake Ingredients:
key lime rum cake |
ingredients |
for the cake |
1 cup butter |
1/2 cup shortening |
2 cups white sugar |
5 eggs |
3 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 tsp baking powder |
1 cup milk |
2 tbsp rum |
1 tbsp grated key lime zest |
2 tsp key lime juice |
1-1/2 tsp vanilla extract |
1/2 tsp lemon juice |
for the glaze |
1/4 cup white sugar |
1/4 cup butter |
2 tablespoons key lime juice |
3 tablespoons rum |
Directions:
1. Preparation:
2. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan. Mix together the flour and baking powder. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup butter, 1/2 cup shortening and 2 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing just until incorporated. Stir in 2 tablespoons rum, key lime zest, 2 teaspoons key lime juice, vanilla extract and lemon juice.
3. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
4. In the meantime, make the glaze by combining 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup butter and 2 tablespoons key lime juice in a small saucepan. Let it boil for a minute or two, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in 3 tablespoons rum.
5. Allow the cake to cool in pan 10 minutes. Turn it out onto wire rack. While warm, prick the top of cake in many places with a toothpick. Pour the glaze over the warm cake. Cool completely before serving.
