Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups pecans
6 eggs, separated
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons rum, divided
1/2 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Chop pecans very finely in a blender, 1 cup at a time. Beat egg yolks until light and beat in sugar, flour, salt, 2 tablespoons rum, and nuts. Set aside. Beat egg whites until stiff and fold into the nut mixture. Pour into 3 (8-inch) or 2 (10-inch) layer cake pans, buttered and lined with waxed paper. Bake for 25 minutes in 350° oven. Allow to cool. (May be kept overnight.) A few hours before serving time, whip cream with powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of rum. Spread filling between layers. Melt chocolate chips, fold in sour cream, and spread over the cake for icing.
