Rum Gateau
Get a Victoria Sandwich cake or Pastel de Madeira.
Ingredients:
165 gr. of soft brown sugar
425 ml of strong black coffee
3 tablespoons of black rum
Garnish:
140 ml of light cream
140 ml of thick cream
Toasted coffee beans
Preparation:
To make the syrup, put the sugar and the coffee in a pot and place it over low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Take it off the heat and then add in the rum and stir. Put the cake on a serving dish and use a skewer to pierce it and then pour some of the hot syrup over it. As the cake goes absorbing the syrup, continue adding more of the syrup on it. Then let it rest for at least 2 hours and at most 12 hours.
Beat the thick cream and the light cream together until they acquire a stiff and fluffy cream, then extend this cream on top of the cake forming spirals. Decorate it with coffee beans.
