Equipment:
- Petal Non-stick Cast Aluminum Fluted Tube Pan (OR other Baker's Secret Fluted Pan Size 9")
- Mixing Bowls
- Whisk (Stainless Steel)
- 2-1 Scraper & Spatula 10"
- Brush and Spatula Set
- 4pcs Measuring Cups with Scraper
- Set of 3 Cooling Rack
Ingredients:
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 5Â eggs
- 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1Â cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp of orange zest
- 1/2 cup rum
- 1/2 cup milk
Rum Icing:
- 3 Tablespoons salted butter
- 2 Tablespoons rum
- 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup confectionersâ sugar
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously grease a 10-inch Fluted pan. Spread the pecans evenly at the top of the greased pan.
- Prepare the cake batter by combining flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside. In another bowl, whisk or use a mixer to cream together butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and zest for 2 minutes. Add eggs, sour cream, and vanilla, and mix on medium speed until well combined. The mixture should look curdled and will come together once the dry ingredients are added.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed. While the mixer is running, pour in rum and milk slowly. Increase the speed to medium and beat until the batter is fully combined. Mix until thick.
- Evenly pour or spoon the cake batter over the pecans in the Fluted pan.
- Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean with only a few moist crumbs. Please note this is a large and dense cake, so it may take slightly longer in your oven.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and cool it for 1 hour inside the pan. Then, carefully invert the slightly cooled Fluted cake onto a cooling rack. Glaze and serve it while it's still warm, or wait for it to cool completely.
- To make glaze, use a small saucepan using medium heat to melt butter and rum together. Add vanilla extract, salt, and confectioners' sugar to the melted mixture and stir until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cake before slicing and serving. The glaze thickens as it cools.
