FREDA'S ITALIAN RUM CREAM CAKE | JUST A PINCH RECIPES



Freda's Italian Rum Cream Cake | Just A Pinch Recipes image

This cake I first tasted in a speciality Bakery, It is to Die For. I actually went back and bought a 2nd cake. ( My Hips really needed that 2nd cake ya know) Photo is from the bakery. I have since searched and Searched but could not Find a recipe for this Special Cake. Until I found a site from Italy. They say this is one of their Special celebration cakes, used for festivites, and celebrations. To Decorate this cake, Top with Whipped Cream piped Rosettes around the top, then Put a lot of Sliced almonds all around the Sides of this cake. It is not an overly sweet cake, with just a hint of Rum to the flavor of the cake. . . Words cannot express how Delicious this cake really is. It is so Attractive and So flavorful, Guaranteed You won't be able to eat just one Slice. It Must be kept in the Refer, Due to the Whipped Cream. This is a lot of Instructions but Don't be Intimidated. Just time consuming. Its more than well worth the effort. Believe me You'll make it over again.

ITALIAN RUM CAKE RECIPE - FOOD.COM - FOOD.COM - RECIP…



Italian Rum Cake Recipe - Food.com - Food.com - Recip… image

Italian Rum Cake is a delicious 3 or 4 layer cake, which is a tradition for birthdays/special occasions in many Italian families. There are 3 basic parts to the cake; sponge cake layers, pasticciera cream (filling) and (stabilized) whipped cream. Below are the recipes for all three parts. If you make it with 3 layers, omit the whipped cream layer. The sponge cake and pasticciera creams may be made a day ahead. The whipped cream should be whipped just before assembling the cake. Prep/Cook times do not include the 3-4 hour chilling time for the pasticciera cream. PLEASE NOTE: This is an egg leavened cake! The egg yolks and whites MUST be beaten to the correct volume and consistency or the recipe will not work. Also, the other ingredients must be folded in (beaten WHITES folded INTO the YOLK/sugar mixture NOT the other way around) in the order given in the directions or the cake will not turn out. The finished layers will be thin depending on the size of your pan. The smaller the pan, the thicker the layers and the longer the baking time needed. If you are expecting this cake to turn out like a "Génoise or American sponge cake," you will be disappointed as this is not a Génoise sponge recipe.

Total Time 2 hours

Cook Time 1 hours

Yield 1 Cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 30

5 egg yolks
5 egg whites
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups pastry flour, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh lemon rind (optional)
3 tablespoons sugar or 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
3 egg yolks
3 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons sugar (or confectioner's sugar)
3 egg yolks
3 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups whole milk
2 ounces baking chocolate, grated
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup dark rum (light rum may be used in place of dark) or 1 tablespoon rum flavoring (light rum may be used in place of dark)
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1/2-1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons light corn syrup
2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons cold water
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 -2 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • Italian Sponge Cake (Pan di Spagna):.
  • Place egg yolks and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat until very thick and lemon colored (mixture should be at least doubled in volume, and thick like frosting - it can take up to 15 minutes (or longer with a hand mixer) of beating to reach the proper volume/texture) .
  • Add flour, a little at a time, gently folding it in until well blended.
  • Gently fold in vanilla and lemon rind (if using it).
  • Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry and fold into cake mixture.
  • Butter and flour an 18-inch square (or a 9 x 13 x 3, or a 11 x 17 x 2-inch half-sheet) cake pan, (make sure pan size will fit your oven; you could also use three 8 or 9-inch layer pans).
  • Pour cake batter into prepared pan(s) and bake at 375°F for 15 to 35 minutes (depending on your oven and the volume of your pans.), or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Remove cake from oven and turn out (of pan) onto a cake rack to cool completely.
  • Cake can be tightly wrapped and refrigerated overnight, or frozen (up to 3 weeks) for future use.
  • Italian Pastry Cream (Pasticciera Cream): Place sugar, egg yolks, flour, lemon rind (if using it), and vanilla in a sauce pan and mix together well.
  • In a separate sauce pan, scald milk.
  • Very slowly pour milk over egg yolk mixture, in a thin stream, beating constantly with rotary beater.
  • Continue cooking on low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until mixture reaches the boiling point.
  • Cook 4 minutes longer, stirring constantly.
  • Remove pan from heat, add butter and mix well.
  • Pour into bowl and let cool, stir occasionally to prevent skin from forming over the top.
  • If using as a filling, chill (with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming) until very thick (about 3-4 hours).
  • Chocolate Pasticciera Cream: Place sugar, egg yolks flour, and vanilla in a sauce pan and mix together well.
  • In a separate sauce pan, scald milk.
  • Very slowly pour milk over egg yolk mixture, in a thin stream, beating constantly with rotary beater.
  • Continue cooking on low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until mixture reaches the boiling point.
  • Cook 4 minutes longer, stirring constantly.
  • Add chocolate and while stirring, cook 1 minute longer.
  • Remove pan from heat, add butter and mix well.
  • Pour into bowl and let cool, stir occasionally to prevent skin from forming over the top.
  • If using as a filling, chill (with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming) until very thick (about 3-4 hours).
  • Rum Syrup*: Mix together the water, sugar, and rum in a small pot.
  • Bring to a boil, and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Remove from the heat and cool before using.
  • *NOTE:If you prefer not to use rum syrup, you may sprinkle/brush cake layers with 1/3 cup rum which has been diluted with 1/4 cup water.
  • Stabilized Whipped Cream - Corn Syrup Method: In a large chilled bowl, with chilled beaters, beat cold cream until it just starts to thicken.
  • Add corn syrup and vanilla from the side of the bowl, and beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Stabilized Whipped Cream - Gelatin Method: Prepare gelatin- Soak plain gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes.
  • Dissolve by placing it in a container over a small pot of simmering water, stir until dissolved.
  • Set aside to cool before using.
  • In a large well-chilled bowl, with well chilled beaters, beat cream with electric mixer.
  • Just before it becomes soft and billowy, slowly add the sugar and vanilla to the whipped cream at the sides of the bowl, continue to whip as you do.
  • Whip the cream until barely stiff.
  • Add melted and cooled gelatin all at once to cream during whipping.
  • Stop whipping when cream forms soft peaks.
  • Finish beating with whisk to adjust consistency to stiff peaks.
  • Use/serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until needed.
  • If peaks have softened during refrigeration, rewhip by hand using a whisk.
  • Rum Cake Assembly Instructions: Slice sponge cake in half to form two 9 x 18-inch layers Using a long, thin bladed knife, cut/split each layer in half lengthwise making four thin 9 x 18-inch layers.
  • Place bottom sponge layer on platter cut side up, sprinkle/brush with about 1/4 of the rum, be careful not to get the cake too wet, or layers will become soggy.
  • Allow sprinkled/brushed rum to soak into the cake for about 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle/brush remaining sponge layers (on the cut side) evenly with remaining rum.
  • Spread a layer of vanilla pasticciera cream on the first sponge layer.
  • Top the vanilla cream layer with another layer of rum sprinkled sponge cake.
  • Spread a layer of stabilized whipped cream on the second sponge layer.
  • Top the whipped cream layer with another layer of rum sprinkled sponge cake.
  • Spread a layer of chocolate pasticciera cream on the third sponge layer.
  • Top the chocolate layer with the last layer of sponge cake.
  • Frost the top sponge cake layer (and sides of cake, optional) with remaining stabilized whipped cream.
