      My notes dating back to 1997 say this dessert is "Fabulous--serve with coffee". Some tips I jotted down: Step 4--My cake took only 1 hour to bake, so watch baking times; Step 6--don't let the melted chocolate cool too much, or it won't fold easily into the buttercream; Step 9--sift the cocoa, and dissolve the instant coffee in the rum before adding it to the buttercream. Basically this cake is baked in a straight-sided loaf pan and cut into 7 horizontal layers. These layers are then sandwiched with the buttercream and then frozen. This makes the cake firm enough to cut on the diagonal, and the "top" and "bottom" of the cake are then sandwiched together and the whole cake frosted. This results in a triangular cake that when cut reveals vertical striped layers of cake and frosting--a neat presentation! Obviously some labor involved, but I thought it was worth it!

      Super easy chocolate cake recipe, the first that each of my children learned to make on their own. It takes just minutes to put together, requires minimal clean up since it calls for the ingredients to be mixed in the pan in which the cake bakes, and has better flavour and texture than many, more labour intensive recipes I've tried. We usually substitute 1/2 cup chocolate chips or nuts for the marshmallows.

      We make this several times each summer, and it's always fantastic. Quick, easy and delicious. We keep it fairly simple by not bothering with the whole, chocolate-dipped strawberries on the top, and we leave the gelatin out of the whipped cream (just the usual cream, confectioners sugar and vanilla).
