- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups brown sugar, packed
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 6 semi-sweet chocolate baking squares, melted and cooled
- 1 cup strong coffee
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 cup buttermilk
- RUM GLAZE
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter, cubed
- 1 teaspoon rum extract
- FILLING
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup milk

Method
- Preheat oven at 350. Line two greased 9 inches round baking pans with waxed paper and grease the paper; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until crumbly. Beat in egg yolks and vanilla. Stir in chocolate and coffee. Combine flour, salt and baking soda; add to chocolate mixture alternately with buttermilk (batter will be thick).
- Pour into prepared pans. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring sugar, milk and butter to a gentle boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, stir in extract.
- Invert cakes onto wire racks; drizzle with glaze. Cool completely. In a microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with milk; stir until smooth. Refrigerate until spreadable, stirring occasionally.
- Place one cake on a serving platter; spread with filling. Top with remaining cake. Spread whipped topping over top and sides of cake. Store in the refrigerator. Granish with chocolate curls.
