How to Make Fresh Apple Cake With Rum Sauce
- Cake:
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in 3 cups peeled and diced apples and 1 cup chopped pecans.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely in the pan before serving.
- Rum Sauce:
- In a saucepan, combine ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup unsalted butter, and ½ cup heavy cream.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the sauce is smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon rum extract.
- Serve warm cake with a generous drizzle of the rum sauce.
