Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch bundt pan or round cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until combined.
Stir in the dark rum until the batter is smooth.
Gradually add the boiling water to the batter, mixing well. The batter will be thin.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Stir in the powdered sugar, dark rum, and heavy cream, and whisk until smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and glossy.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and let it set for 10 minutes before serving.
