Chocolate Caramel Rum Cake

Chocolate again. Yep. Chocolate is always on my mind so it makes its way here a lot. There’s nothing fancy or complex about this recipe, just a straight chocolate caramel rum cake.

Snickers Coffee Cake with a Salted Caramel Glaze

I kept the crunchy and upped the traditional brown sugar pecan streusel with a Snickers streusel. Since my heavy hand is never happy, I added a salted caramel glaze to the topping as well.
