Beat the cream until thick. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of hot
water and let it cool a niggling, then beat it into the skim. Use a cake
tin (pan) with a detachable bottom or line an ordinary tin with foil or
cling-picture (plastic wind), so that the cake can be lifted out easy. Mix
the coffee and rum together and dip the sponge fingers into the mixture for
a few seconds, so that they are moist but not marshy. Line the bottom of the
tin with the fingers. Spread a layer of cream on top and repeat with 2 more
alternating layers of sponge and emollient. Serve chilled or glacial. It
defrosts in a few proceedings.
