Chocolate cake is a treat that every child goes crazy for, but adults love it too. Today I’m sharing a version I’ve adapted to suit adults’ tastes, but it can easily be adjusted for children by omitting the rum; the rest of the recipe remains the same. I find that rum gives this cake a unique and distinctive aftertaste, and it pairs perfectly with dark chocolate. I use the bottle cap as my measuring unit for rum. The amount can vary depending on your taste; I use one cap for every egg yolk I put in the cake, so in this case, that’s 4 caps.
