Rum Caramel Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and hot water in a heavy saucepan, and cook over high heat until the sugar has dissolved, about 1 minute. Continue to cook, swirling the pan occasionally but never stirring the sugar mixture, until the mixture thickens and turns a deep amber color, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and immediately add the heavy cream (be careful -- the mixture will splatter). Return the pan to the heat and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the sauce is thick and creamy, stirring occasionally to help incorporate the cream, about 5 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the rum, vanilla, and butter. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 12-cup Bundt pan; dust with flour, tapping out excess. Soak raisins in 1/2 cup rum.
• Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder; set aside. Put butter and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; cream on medium speed until smooth. Mix in eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla. On low speed, mix in flour mixture in three additions, alternating with two additions of 6 tablespoons cream each (12 total). Mix in raisin mixture and coconut. Transfer batter to prepared pan; smooth top.
• Bake, rotating about halfway through, until a cake tester comes out clean, about 1 hour 55 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 20 minutes. Run a thin knife around sides of cake; unmold. Let cool.
• Heat granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat, gently stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and syrup is clear. Cook, without stirring, until syrup comes to a boil, washing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystals from forming. Let boil, gently swirling, until medium amber. Remove from heat. Carefully pour in remaining 1/4 cup rum and 2 tablespoons cream. Let cool, stirring, until thickened. Drizzle over cake.

Steps:

• Bring first 3 ingredients to a boil in a 2-qt. saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly; boil, whisking constantly, 1 minute.
• Remove from heat; gradually whisk in powdered sugar and rum until smooth.
• Whisk gently 3 to 5 minutes or until mixture begins to cool, thickens slightly, and lighten in color a bit. Use immediately before it hardens.

Steps:

• Heat sugar and the water in a heavy saucepan over medium, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and syrup is clear. Stop stirring, and cook until syrup comes to a boil, washing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystals from forming. Continue to boil, gently swirling occasionally to color evenly, until mixture is medium amber. Remove from heat. Carefully stir in rum and cream (the mixture will spatter) with a wooden spoon until smooth. Let cool, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 to 10 minutes.
