Ingredients & Directions


3 Egg yolks 3/4 c Sour cream
1 c Sugar 1 ts Vanilla extract
2 1/4 c All-purpose flour 1/2 ts Nutmeg
2 c Milk 1/4 ts Baking soda
1/2 Lemon; Grated peel only 1/4 ts Salt
1 c Butter; room temperature 1/2 c Dark rum
4 Eggs

PREHEAT OVEN TO 350F. Beat the yolks and 1/4 cup sugar together in a
mixing bowl and slowly add 1/4 cup flour. Meanwhile, place the milk
in a small pot and bring to the brink of boiling. Slowly pour the
milk over the yolk mixture, then pour the whole thing back into the
pot. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the
mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and mix in the lemon peel.
Scrape into a plastic container, cover and place in the refrigerator
to chill. Running your mixer at high speed, cream butter and
remaining sugar together in a mixer fitted with a paddle. Add the
eggs 1 at a time, waiting until the previous 1 has been absorbed. Add
the sour cream and mix until incorporated. Add vanilla, nutmeg,
baking soda and salt. Decrease the speed to medium, add remaining
flour and mix an additional minute. Scrape the batter into a 1-quart
round or rectangular cake pan, leaving 1/2-inch space at the top.
Place on the middle rack of the oven for 50-to-60 minutes. The cake
is done when the surface cracks and a toothpick inserted into the
center comes out clean. Remove cake from the oven and let cool for 15
minutes before unmolding onto rack. When the cake is completely cool,
slice it into 6 layers. Place the first layer on a cake platter and
sprinkle with some of the rum. Cover the layer with some of the
custard mixture. Place the second layer on top of the custard,
sprinkle with rum and cover with more custard. Continue until the
cake is assembled. Lightly spread the custard all over the surface of
the cake. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
