Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½ cups refined flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ cup chocolate powder
½ cup instant coffee
1 pinch salt
2 eggs
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup light rum, (If using dark rum, use ¼ cup)
½ cup refined oil, (I replaced butter here because i am making a frosting out of it)
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 cup unsalted butter
2 tablespoons brewed instant coffee
½ cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder

Steps:

Crack two eggs in a bowl and whisk. Now, add brown sugar whisk until the sugar dissolves completely.
Next, add the oil and orange zest and mix thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, sift together the dry ingredients. Then, mix these into the wet ingredients to create a thick batter.
Add the rum gradually into the mixture and mix well. Adjust rum amount according to your taste.
Lay a parchment paper on your baking tray, grease it, and pour the mixture into it. Bake for about 30 mins at 350°F.
In a separate bowl, cream powdered sugar together with butter. Then, add 1.5 tbsp instant coffee and taste. Add more if desired. Add cocoa powder to make this a chocolate frosting.
After the cake is done, take it out and let cool before inverting.
After it cools, slice horizontally and remove the top half.
Now, apply the frosting evenly and top with the reserved half to create a sandwich, of sorts.
Press together gently, let cool, and cut into pieces. Serve.
Enjoy!
