CHOCOLATE YUM-YUM CAKE
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

YUM YUM CHOCOLATE RUM CAKE
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.
