Roughly chop the chocolate and melt over a warm water bath. Let it cool down. Pour into a mixing bowl. Add butter, sugar, eggs and spice. Cream with the whisk of the hand mixer. Mix flour, starch and baking powder.
Sift into 2 portions onto the egg chocolate mixture and stir in. Put the dough on a greased baking tray and smooth it down. Bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for approx. 25 minutes. Remove, place on a grid, cut the still warm cake in half crosswise. Let it cool down. Remove from the baking tray with large dough pallets. Carefully lift one half down and place on a board. Mix the jelly and spread on the cake half. Carefully place the second pastry sheet on top, press down lightly. Stir icing sugar, rum and 2 tbsp. water until smooth.
