Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup butter, softened
2 cups brown sugar , packed
2 egg yolks
2 tsp vanilla extract
6 semi-sweet chocolate baking squares, melted and cooled
1 cup strong coffee
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1 tsp rum extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup milk
1 (8 oz) carton frozen whipped topping, thawed
chocolate curls (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven at 350. Line two greased 9 inches round baking pans with waxed paper and grease the paper; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until crumbly. Beat in egg yolks and vanilla. Stir in chocolate and coffee. Combine flour, salt and baking soda; add to chocolate mixture alternately with buttermilk (batter will be thick).
Pour into prepared pans. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring sugar, milk and butter to a gentle boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, stir in extract.
Invert cakes onto wire racks; drizzle with glaze. Cool completely. In a microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with milk; stir until smooth. Refrigerate until spreadable, stirring occasionally.
Place one cake on a serving platter; spread with filling. Top with remaining cake. Spread whipped topping over top and sides of cake. Store in the refrigerator. Granish with chocolate curls.
