Nutty Irishman Creme Cake
This is as close as I can come to the cake I made for my Dad's 50 Birthday over 20 years ago. This recipe is a lot smaller. Then I did make it in a sheet cake and it had a frosting at the time not a glaze like here. If you want a really good frosting give this Creamy Chocolate Frosting recipe #51345 a try, but use Frangelica liqueur instead of the rum.
