Rum-Infused Pound Cake: Moist with a Rum Flavor from a Post-Bake Glaze

Pound cake

This time, I tried making a rum-infused pound cake. After the cake had cooled slightly, I brushed it with rum and wrapped it, letting it sit for a day.

The finished product had a fine, beautiful texture. The rum aroma was quite strong, and the moistness was particularly well-absorbed at the bottom. It might be a good idea to flip the cake while it rests to ensure the rum soaks in evenly.

Rum-Infused Pound Cake Recipe: Instructions

(1) I beat the egg whites with a hand mixer for about one minute. Once stiff peaks formed, I added 10g of sugar and mixed again for a few more seconds until they became glossy and white (the sugar helps prevent the meringue from collapsing).

(2) In a separate bowl, I added one egg yolk, 40g of sugar, 20g of olive oil, and 20g of milk and mixed with a hand mixer for one to two minutes.

(3) I added 50g of flour to the mixture from (2) and mixed with the hand mixer for one to two minutes. (I used a hand mixer again this time, but a spatula might also be sufficient.)

(4) I added the meringue from (1) to the mixture from (3) and stirred with a spatula until the color was uniform (being careful not to crush the meringue).

(5) I poured the mixture from (4) into the cake pan, tapped the bottom of the pan a dozen or so times to remove air bubbles, and placed it in the oven (preheated to 180°C). I baked it at 180°C for about 10 minutes and then at 160°C for about 20 minutes.

(6) After it had cooled slightly, I took the pound cake out of the pan. There were almost no dents.

(7) Then, I poured 20g of rum over it, wrapped it in plastic wrap, and let it sit for a day.

(8) Finally, I sliced the pound cake. The inside was not sticky. While it was sufficiently moist, the rum flavor was not very prominent. Perhaps 25g of rum (per egg) would be better.
