Chocolate rum torte tips

Dark rum, which doesn’t necessarily overshadow the cake, is preferable since it has a sweeter and more complex flavour. The lovely chocolate coating is matched by the equally luxurious cream filling. Chocolate curls are created by dragging a spoon over the surface of slightly melted chocolate. If you want to add some colour, you may also sprinkle over some chocolate chips or other sweets and top with a strawberry or two.
