Chocolate cake with mocha cream filling.

This was my first attempt at making cake from scratch and boy with all the steps it was a bit scary.  It was very time consuming as each part of the cake had to sit for a day. Overall we had to wait until the third day to finally dig in.  The cake was very rich, but delicious.  My only complaint is that I didn't pick up on any of the "mocha" flavor.  I adapted the recipe just slightly, replacing the rum with coffee which I thought would give it more of the mocha flavor.
