CHOCOLAT AU RHUM Rum Flavored Chocolate Cakes

December 19, 2007 Belgian style chocolate cakes. Being made with a generous amount of chocolate and a small amount of flour, the cakes have a rich chocolate flavor and they are really satisfying. The cakes are brushed with syrup while they are still hot, giving the cakes a quite moist texture.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (365 °F) for 20 - 25 minutes. If the surface browns but the center is still not done, cover with foil and continue baking. While baking, mix sugar syrup and rum. When baked, brush with the syrup generously.
