Salted Brown Sugar Rum Cake + Browned Butter Rum Glaze

08.02.2021

For our wedding invitations, we sent out destination travel boxes to all of our guests. Inside, we designed handmade maps of the island, mini rum bottles, beach totes and some other island inspired flair. Our wedding was in Anguilla, so I thought it would be fun to make homemade mini Caribbean rum cakes for each box. I made over 300 little cakes...our kitchen was speckled in them! This cake is sweet, soft yet dense and soaked in a rich, syrupy, browned butter rum glaze. Studded with toasted pecans and topped off with a creamy white chocolate coconut ganache. It is decadent.

Total Time 2 hours hrs 45 minutes mins

Ingredients

Salted Brown Sugar Rum Cake:

  • 2-1/4 cups whole grain cake flour organic
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 3.4 oz vanilla pudding mix organic
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp Himalayan sea salt
  • 1/2 cup Myokos oat butter
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup oat milk or almond milk
  • 3 brown eggs large
  • 2 egg whites
  • 3/4 cup spiced rum
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup toasted pecans chopped

Browned Butter Rum Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup Myokos oat butter
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3/4 cup coconut sugar or Lakanto sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan sea salt
  • 1/3 cup spiced rum
  • 1 tsp Himalayan sea salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract organic

White Chocolate Coconut Drip Icing:

  • 16 oz white chocolate I use Lily's brand
  • 3/4 cup coconut milk full fat
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut unsweetened

Instructions

  • 1, 6-inch bundt cake pan + 2, 6-inch round cake pans or 1, 11-inch bundt cake pan.
    Preheat Oven to 350 degrees.
    Grease cake pan(s) with nonstick coconut oil.

Salted Brown Sugar Rum Cake:

  • To toast the pecans, add them in a single layer to a cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until lightly toasted. Remove from the oven and let cool.
    Add the whole grain cake flour, brown sugar, pudding mix, baking powder, sea salt, oat butter, and olive oil to a mixing bowl, and beat at medium speed until thoroughly combined.
    Add the oat milk, then add in the brown eggs and egg whites, one at a time. Beat until well combined.
    Stir in the rum and vanilla.
    Add a handful of the toasted pecans to the bottom of the pan(s). Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s).
    Bake for 35-45 minutes (depending on the size of pan(s) you use), or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Browned Butter Rum Glaze:

  • Add the butter to a medium saucepan set on medium heat. Melt the butter and allow to brown, whisking frequently, 5-10 minutes. It will begin to develop a nutty aroma. Remove from heat. 
    Pour into a small bowl and allow to cool in the refrigerator, about 1-2 hours.
    In a medium saucepan, combine all of the ingredients, except the vanilla extract. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 6 minutes, or until the glaze begins to thicken.
    Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

White Chocolate Coconut Drip Icing:

  • Place the white chocolate chips into a heat resistant bowl.
    In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add the coconut milk until it just starts to boil. Once boiling, remove it from the heat and pour it over the white chocolate. Let sit for a few seconds.
    Whisk it together until there are not any pieces of white chocolate left on your whisk. Stir in the coconut. Let cool until the ganache is room temperature if you plan on using it right away.
    If the ganache becomes too cool, microwaveit for 10 second increments, stirring each time until it is room temperature.
    To assemble, poke small holes all over the cake. Pour the browned butter glaze over the cake. It should be fully soaked.
    If you used a 6-inch bundt cake pan as well as two 6-inch cake pans, pour 1/3 of the glaze over the first cake layer, top with a handful of toasted pecans, add on the second cake layer, top with the remaining toasted pecans. Pour 1/3 of the glaze over that layer. Add the bundt cake on top. Soak with the remaining glaze.
    Pour the white chocolate drip over the top of the cake. Top with your favorite dainty flowers!

Notes

You can omit the coconut in the white chocolate drip to create a smoother consistency.

Hi, I’m Arianna

an architect turned baker.

Behind each of my recipes, you will find a thoughtfully curated balance of sweet and savory flavors creating intrigue for both the eye and palette. Desserts to me, are about thoughtfulness and imagination while keeping a healthy balance in mind. In my eyes, the process of architectural design and the process of creating a recipe then composing its structure as one in the same.
