Moist Steam Chocolate Cake

I make this cake for a pot luck dinner and my friends love it a lot. They said the sweetness is just nice and taste delicious and gave thumb up on this cake. This cake is moist, soft and chocolatie. The rum enhanced the flavour of this cake and I love it alot. I have decorated strawberry on top of the Chocolate Glaze and it look so pretty too. Overall this recipe is a keeper, simple and easy to make and taste yummy too.
