BELIZEAN BUTTER RUM RAISIN CAKE w/ RUM SAUCE - Delicious!

Here's another one of my favorites.  Hope you enjoy this, as much as I do.

BELIZEAN BUTTER RUM RAISIN CAKE
1/4 c. Rum
1/4 c. raisins
1 c. butter, soft
1 c. sugar
3 eggs
2-1/4 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

Pour rum over raisins and set aside.  Cream butter until light and fluffy.  Slowly add sugar and eggs, beating after each addition.  Continue beating for 3-5 minutes.  Fold in raisins with rum.  Together sift flour, baking powder, and salt;  stir them into batter.  Pour into greased and floured baking tin.  Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.  Makes enough to serve 8.

RUM SAUCE
1 c. natural milk
1 Tbsp. vanilla
3 egg yolks
1/3 c. sugar
2 Tbsp. dark Rum

Place all ingredients except the rum into a blender and blend for one minute.  Pour into a saucepan and place on stove over moderate heat; stir constantly but do not boil.  Remove from heat and add rum.  Pour a little rum sauce over each slice of your Butter Rum Raisin Cake when serving.  Then wait for everyone to ask you for the recipe.
