Ingredients
1 cup homemade unsalted butter, softened

4 eggs, room temperature
2-3/4 cups all purpose flour
2-1/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup milk
2 TBS pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Directions PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees. Butter three 9 inch cake pans and dust the inside with flour and tap out excess. Line the bottom of the pans with wax or parchment paper. Put the cake pans on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Sift the dry ingredients together and set aside. Beat the butter for 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the sugar and beat another 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat thoroughly after each addition. Start adding the flour mixture one cup at a time, and alternate with the milk; ending with the flour mixture. Add the vanilla, mix well and pour into prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or when a knife inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Transfer to a rack and cool for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the sides of the cakes, unmold them and peel off the paper liners. Invert and cool to room temperature, right side up. (These cooled cakes may be wrapped airtight and stored at room temperature overnight or frozen for up to two months.)

CANELéS DE BORDEAUX - FRENCH RUM AND VANILLA CAKES



Canelés De Bordeaux - French Rum and Vanilla Cakes image

Canelés de Bordeaux, also know as cannelé Bordelais, are magical French bakery confections, little fluted cakes with a rich rum and vanilla interior enclosed by a thin caramelised shell. This brilliant recipe was developed a long ago by an anonymous Bordeaux cook, whose innovation has been subjected to 300 years of refinements. Glossy and dark brown almost black at first sight, bittersweet at first bite, the crunchy burnt sugar canelé-shell makes an exquisite contrast to the smooth, sweet filling, fragrant with vanilla and rum. These little cakes have recently gained cachet after years of neglect, to the extent that they may one day rival the popularity of crème brûlée in the category of caramelized French desserts. Baked in special tin-lined copper moulds, these delicious dessert cakes are often served with Cognac and Wine if you partake of a local degustation! The copper moulds are quite hard to find even in France - if you cannot find them, then these cakes can be made in individiual dariol moulds, small pudding basins, or the silcon moulds which are quite easy to find. This recipe makes 12 to 16 canelés, depending on the size of your moulds. Traditionally beeswax is used to line the moulds, I have dispensed with this and have suggested a sprinkling of sugar inside the well buttered moulds.

Time P1DT1h20m

Yield 12-16 Canelé de Bordeaux

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 liter milk
2 whole eggs, plus
2 egg yolks, beaten
1/2 vanilla beans or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 -4 tablespoons rum
1 cup plain flour
1 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter
butter, for greasing
sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • The day before: boil the milk with the vanilla and butter.
  • Take off the heat, allow to cool VERY slightly.
  • Mix the flour and sugar together, then add the eggs and egg yolks, pour this mixture in the hot milk.
  • Gently mix in order to obtain a fluid and smooth mixture, like a pancake batter, let it cool, then add the rum.
  • Place it in the refrigerator for 24 hours to 48 hours maximum.
  • When you are ready to bake the caneles: preheat the oven to 250C/495°F.
  • Butter the moulds liberally and then sprinkle some sugar in to the moulds.
  • Pour the batter in to the buttered and sugared caneles moulds, they should be 3/4 full - NO more.
  • Place the moulds on a baking sheet, and cook on high for 5 minutes, then lower the temperature to 175C/350F and continue cooking for 1 hour at least. (It depends on your oven, it can take up to 1 and a quarter hours!) The tops will have a brown crust when they are ready, and they should still be moist inside.
  • Carefully unmould them whilst they are still hot. Allow them to cool.
  • Serve with tea or coffee for breakfast, or with a glass of wine or cognac in the late afternoon or evening.
