You pretty much described it already: It's a chocolate cake which is
drizzled with a rum syrup to moisten it. There is chocolate-flavored whipped
cream between the layers. The cake is typically decorated with chocolate
curls and little mushroom-shaped meringues which are dusted with cocoa
powder. It's not my FAVORITE (that would be Sachertorte), but it's very
good. (BTW, there's supposed to be another "r" in there: St. Bernard Torte.)
