Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ cup raisins
• ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons rum
• ⅓ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• ½ cup light brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• ⅔ cup whipping cream
• ¾ cup chopped toasted pecans

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Combine the raisins and rum in a small bowl; set aside to soak.

Step 3

Heat the whipping cream in a small pot over medium-low heat until hot, but do not allow to boil. Remove from heat and stir the chocolate chips into the hot cream until completely melted. Set aside to cool.

Step 4

Sift the flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and cinnamon together into a bowl. Beat the eggs into the flour mixture individually; mix gently. Stir the chocolate mixture into the flour mixture until incorporated. Fold the raisins, any remaining rum, and the pecans into the batter; spread into the prepared baking pan.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is dry and the edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 30 minutes.
