Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2

Break bread into small pieces into an 8 inch square baking pan. Drizzle melted butter over bread. If desired, sprinkle with raisins.
3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine eggs, 2 cups whipping cream, sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Beat until well mixed. Pour over bread, and lightly push down with a fork until bread is covered and soaking up the egg mixture.
4

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly tapped.
5

While this is baking, stir remaining brown sugar and butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Add cream, rum, and cinnamon and bring to simmer. Simmer until sauce thickens and is reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 5 minutes. Serve warm. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to simmer before serving.)
