4		Eggs
1		Egg yolk
1-1/2	C	Sugar
10	tbsp	Melted butter
1-1/2	C	Milk
3	C	Flour
1-1/2	tbsp	Baking powder
1	tbsp	Instant coffee, diluted in 1 tsp. water
4	tbsp	Cocoa
2	tsp	Rum extract or 4 tbsp dark rum

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Whip eggs with sugar until pale and fluffy.
Add melted butter, whip more.
Add milk, half rum flavoring, coffee and mix well.
Add flour, baking powder and mix on high until fluffy.
Into buttered and floured bundt form place half of the batter.
Add cocoa and the rest of the rum to the second half of batter and mix well.
Pour over first half of batter, swirl a knife through both batters once. The dark batter is heavier and will fall during baking.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, test cake with wooden skewer.

Instead of bundt form, you can use bread loaves forms or large cup cakes. Decrease baking time with size.

Serve with butter, or ice cream, or by itself.

Microwave cold cake slices 15 seconds for that freshly baked taste.
