Rum savarin recipe (savarin au rhum)
- Cuisine: French
- Serves 6-8
The gateau savarin, a yeast cake moistened with a syrup, is like a large rum baba, a great French classic from the Lorraine region. You need a 20cm buttered ring tin and a piping bag without a nozzle.
Ingredients
7-10g sachet of dry yeast50ml warm milk
200g plain flour, sifted
3 large eggs
90g unsalted butter, slightly softened
1½ cups sugar
2 cups water
Zest of 1 lemon
¼ cup rum
400g raspberries
1½ cups whipped cream
Preparation
Dissolve the yeast in the warm milk.In an electric mixer fitted with a beating attachment, place the flour, yeast and eggs and mix for about 2 minutes until the mixture is elastic. If you do not have a mixer, beat it with a wooden spoon. Cover with a cloth and allow to rise for about 1 hour.
Add the softened butter and 1 tablespoon of sugar to the risen dough and beat thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Place the mixture in a piping bag and pipe into the prepared tin, tapping the tin lightly to eliminate any air bubbles. Leave to rise uncovered for 30 minutes in a warm place, then bake in an oven preheated to 200°C for 25 minutes.
Bring the water, remaining sugar and lemon zest to the boil and cook for 5 minutes.
When the cake is cooked, remove the cake from oven and wait about 3 minutes before turning it out onto a dish.
Stir the rum into the sugar syrup and pour this over the cake. Allow the cake to absorb the syrup.
Serve the cake garnished with whipped cream and raspberries.
