Hi, do you have this recipe for me? My oldest sister ( who died in 2006) always makes this cake and I have been searching for the recipe fir a long time. Thank you.

Hi Regina,

Unfortunately I didn't write down the recipe.
But it is a very simple chocolate cake with pastry cream filling. You can get the recipe for individual layer and combine them together.
As for the rum simple syrup (or you can change it to any flavor or omit the alcohol altogether), I just simply made simple syrup and added rum until my preferred taste.
Hope that helps
