CAKE.... Melt chocolate in double boiler over low heat. In a large bowl,
cream butter and half the sugar until light and fluffy. Add salt, cinnamon
and lemon peel. Beat in egg yolks, one at a time, with melted chocolate.

Beat egg whites until stiff; fold in remaining sugar. Fold egg white
mixture into creamed mixture with flour. Spread batter evenly in prepared
cake pan. Bake 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes
out clean.

Sprinkle a sheet of waxed paper with sugar and turn out cake onto it.

Peel off lining paper. Cool 2 hours, then cut cooled cake lengthwise into
two 14x5 strips.

FROSTING... Melt butter, cool slightly. Finely grate chocolate. Mix
chocolate, eggs, powdered sugar, butter and rum in double boiler. Stir
constantly over low heat until chocolate has melted and all ingredients are
thoroughly combined. Cool.

Place the two 14x5 strips on top of one another, with about half of the
frosting used as filling. Spread remaining frosting thickly over top. Cut
into slices when frosting is firm.
