For an extra touch, consider adding a layer of chopped nuts (such as hazelnuts or almonds) between the cookie and cream layers. If you don't have rum on hand, brandy or another liqueur can be used as a substitute. To prevent the cookies from becoming too soggy, avoid over-saturating them with rum or coffee. The cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Prepare the Cookies: Arrange the butter cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet. Lightly brush or sprinkle with rum (or coffee). (5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Prepare the Pan: Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, leaving enough overhang to easily lift the cake out later. (5 minutes)
03
Step
10 mins
Make the Chocolate Cream: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and sugar until pale and thick, about 2-3 minutes. Whisk in the vanilla extract and cocoa powder until thoroughly combined. Gradually stir in the melted butter until the mixture is smooth and glossy. (10 minutes)
04
Step
20 mins
Layer the Cake: Line the bottom and sides of the prepared loaf pan with butter cookies. Spread a thin, even layer (about 1/2 inch) of the chocolate cream over the cookie base. Place another layer of cookies on top of the cream, followed by another layer of cream. Repeat this process until all of the cream is used, finishing with a final layer of cookies on top. (20 minutes)
05
Step
3 hrs
Chill: Fold the overhanging foil or parchment paper over the top of the cake. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cake to firm up completely. (3+ hours)
06
Step
5 mins
Serve: Once chilled, remove the cake from the loaf pan using the foil or parchment paper overhang. Slice into 1/2-inch slices and serve cold. Enjoy!
