double chocolate rum cake

My husband and I made this one holiday, and it became a family favorite instantly! It always disappears quickly, or leftovers leave with our guests or family.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
This chocolate rum cake shows how a box of Devil's Food cake mix can be transformed. Once baked, it's a smooth and chocolaty cake that's moist. Coffee enhances the chocolate flavor, and the dark rum flavor is not overpowering. We enjoyed the crunch of the pecans. Very rich, no frosting is needed. We dusted ours with powdered sugar, but that's optional.
