- Preheat the oven to 385 degrees. Butter, then flour, a 12-c. muffin pan, and set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, stir together the yeast and hot water till the yeast dissolves. Add in 1/8 c. flour, stirring till a paste is formed. Set aside for 10 min.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer for about 5 to 6 min, till a light ribbon is formed. Remove the beaters and clean all of the butter mix into the bowl.
- Place a dough hook attachment on the mixer and add in the yeast mix, the remaining flour, the salt, the Large eggs and yolks and mix well, about 8 to 9 min, till the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Remove the dough from the mixing bowl and divide it into 12 equal portions. Place each portion into a c. of the prepared muffin pan, cover with a towel and allow to stand for one hour, to rise by double.
- Place the cakes in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 min, till cooked through or possibly when a toothpick entered at the center exits clean. Remove and allow to cold on a cake rack for 20 min. Remove the cakes from the pan and place them on a sheet tray.
- In a small saucepan, heat the water and sugar to boiling and stir to dissolve the sugar. Lower heat to a very high simmer and cook 15 min to create a simple syrup. Remove from heat, add in rum, stir to mix and allow to cold 5 min.
- Poke the tops of the cakes with a popsicle stick to create 8 to 10 slender holes. Spoon the rum syrup over the cakes and into the holes, and repeat twice with the syrup which drains out of the bottom. Serve with unsweetened whipped cream.
