4. Fold in half a bar of melted butter, half a cup of milk, half a cup of brewed coffee straight from the percolator (note: if, for whatever reason, you prefer to use instant coffee, dissolve three tablespoons in half a cup of warm water), five tablespoons of chocolate powder, an eight of a cup of brown sugar, two bottlecaps of rum, the yolks, and the dry ingredients.
5. Blend till smooth, pour in a greased pan, and leave till everything levels out. Top with crushed walnuts.
6. Bake in a preheated oven at 150°C for 30 to 40 minutes.
7. Let the cake cool before removing it from the pan.
