Apple Cake with Hot Caramel Rum Sauce

Langkah-langkah

1. Combine the sugars and cream in the top part of a double boiler and cook over simmering water, stirring occasionally, for 1 1/2 hours. Add the butter and cook another 30 minutes. (The mixture may look curdled but will smooth out when beaten). Remove from heat, add the rum and beat until smooth.

2. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 10-inch pie plate or 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick spray. Use an electric mixer to combine the butter and sugar until light and fluffy; beat in the eggs and vanilla until well mixed. Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, soda and salt; blend into the butter mixture. Stir in the apples and pecans (if using). Spoon the the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake about 45 minutes or until golden brown. Serve topped with the warm sauce.
