Method
Syrup : Some of this goes in the cake mix hence we are making it first!
Mix sugar and half cup boiling water together in a small saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves then stop stirring and boil until a dark toffee colour develops. Remove from heat and carefully add the 2nd half cup of boiling water. Be careful as it splutters and bubbles. Stir to dissolve the toffee. Measure a half cup for the cake and stir the coffee and rum into the remainder. Set aside.
Cake : Preheat oven to 180ºC.
Mix butter and dark cane sugar until creamy. Add the dissolved coffee, vanilla and rum. Beat in eggs one at a time, then fold in the flour and milk and half a cup of syrup.
Divide the mixture between 2 x 20cm tins which have been well greased and their bases lined with baking paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
Drizzle the coffee syrup over the flat bases of the cakes and then sandwich the bases together with whipped cream. Serve slices with extra whipped cream and a drizzle of coffee syrup.
