YUM YUM CAKE
This makes a large cake, perfect for a pot luck or a family gathering. It is a fairly flat cake--ends up less than two inches high after you have added the toppings. This recipe came from my sister-in-law in Chicago. I had a piece at a family reunion dinner and couldn't leave without the recipe! Yum Yum!

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.
