These chocolate rum cake squares are made from a cocoa cake soaked with sweetened milk and rum while still warm. The soak keeps the cake moist. A glaze made by melting dark chocolate in cream is poured over the top, and the cake is cut into squares once cool. The cake bakes for 20 to 30 minutes at 175°C (350°F), and the preparation is straightforward.

Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
First, make the batter. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until light and fluffy, then gradually mix in the flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Add the oil and milk and mix well. Beat the egg whites until stiff, then gently fold them into the batter in batches.
Pour the batter into a greased baking pan and bake at 175°C (350°F) for about 20–30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the soak to keep the cake moist: warm the milk, stir in the sugar until dissolved, gradually add the rum, and remove from the heat. Pour the soak evenly over the baked cake while it is still warm.
Finally, prepare the chocolate glaze. Warm the cream in a saucepan over low heat without letting it boil. Break the chocolate into pieces and melt it in the cream. Pour the glaze over the cake, let cool, cut into squares, and serve.

Tip: Spoon the soak gradually over the entire surface of the warm cake, letting it absorb before adding more. Otherwise, the edges will stay dry while the center becomes soggy.
