MY GRANDMOTHER first made this cake, and my mother made it often when I was a little girl. Today, at age 82, I'm still baking it. What better testimony to a delicious recipe! You can frost it or just sprinkle it with a little powdered sugar. Either way, it's great. -Dorothy Colli, West Hartford, Connecticut

It's chocolate... it's rum...IT'S YUM! Don't be intimidated by the prep time, most of that is just the resting period. If the sauce is too much chocolate for you feel free to sprinkle w/ a dusting of powdered sugar instead before serving.

Cut off heat and whisk in rum. Pour over chocolate, whisk until smooth. Allow ganache to cool slightly before pouring over the cake. Start at the center of the cake and move out.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the cake will taste. Use a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly.
  • Don't overbake the cake. Overbaking can make the cake dry. Bake the cake for the amount of time specified in the recipe.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
