Steps:

• Directions PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees. Butter three 9 inch cake pans and dust the inside with flour and tap out excess. Line the bottom of the pans with wax or parchment paper. Put the cake pans on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Sift the dry ingredients together and set aside. Beat the butter for 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the sugar and beat another 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat thoroughly after each addition. Start adding the flour mixture one cup at a time, and alternate with the milk; ending with the flour mixture. Add the vanilla, mix well and pour into prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or when a knife inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Transfer to a rack and cool for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the sides of the cakes, unmold them and peel off the paper liners. Invert and cool to room temperature, right side up. (These cooled cakes may be wrapped airtight and stored at room temperature overnight or frozen for up to two months.)

Steps:

• The day before: boil the milk with the vanilla and butter.
• Take off the heat, allow to cool VERY slightly.
• Mix the flour and sugar together, then add the eggs and egg yolks, pour this mixture in the hot milk.
• Gently mix in order to obtain a fluid and smooth mixture, like a pancake batter, let it cool, then add the rum.
• Place it in the refrigerator for 24 hours to 48 hours maximum.
• When you are ready to bake the caneles: preheat the oven to 250C/495°F.
• Butter the moulds liberally and then sprinkle some sugar in to the moulds.
• Pour the batter in to the buttered and sugared caneles moulds, they should be 3/4 full - NO more.
• Place the moulds on a baking sheet, and cook on high for 5 minutes, then lower the temperature to 175C/350F and continue cooking for 1 hour at least. (It depends on your oven, it can take up to 1 and a quarter hours!) The tops will have a brown crust when they are ready, and they should still be moist inside.
• Carefully unmould them whilst they are still hot. Allow them to cool.
• Serve with tea or coffee for breakfast, or with a glass of wine or cognac in the late afternoon or evening.
