Grandpa’s Chocolate Rum Cake, 2003 Southern Living Cookoff Cookbook Cooking (passive) time includes 8 hrs to chill , This is a wonderfully decadent recipe, without being overly sweet It tasted like something you’d pay $12/piece for at an upscale restaurant
Notes: I subbed the dark rum with spiced rum, and to help cut a few calories, I only made half the amount of frosting called for, spreading sparingly Also, due to all the mixing, prep time took me closer to 30 mins, and my oven runs a bit on the cool side, so it took around 32 mins to bake
I can’t wait to take this to a winter party! (Not summer due to possible frosting melt and dense composition) , This is a wonderfully decadent recipe, without being overly sweet It tasted like something you’d pay $12/piece for at an upscale restaurant
