keep stirring until they are incorporated. Fold in the chocolate.
Pour the batter into a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

Make the Rum Cream Sauce right before serving.

To Prepare the Rum Cream Sauce
Place all the sauce ingredients in a nonstick saucepan and cook over
medium heat until the sauce starts to thicken, about 5 to 6 minutes.
Cut the cake into serving slices and serve with a spoonful of sauce on
top of each.
