Gateau Victoire

Whip cream to heavy peaks. Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler. In another double boiler, combine the eggs, rum, vanilla and salt. Over a slow boil, beat thoroughly, at least 5 minutes, until doubled in volume. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate, slowly. Carefully fold in the cream. Put wax paper or parchment paper in the bottom of a buttered 2 quart baking mold. Pour the mixture in. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 50 to 55 minutes. Cool thoroughly. Remove the mold. Decorate with shavings of semi-sweet chocolate. Serves 6 to 8.
