Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup Cake flour
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 ¹⁄₂ cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup Milk
• ¹⁄₂ cup Strong brewed coffee, cooled
• 1 ¹⁄₂ cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
• 2 tablespoon Rum
• ¹⁄₄ cup Powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk and coffee. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
5. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Stir until smooth and melted. Stir in the rum and powdered sugar.
7. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the chocolate-rum cream filling over the top. Place the second cake layer on top and spread the remaining filling over it.
8. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to set. Serve chilled and enjoy!
