Make the cake
In a small bowl, mix the butter and egg.

Make the Rum Balls
In a small saucepan melt the cream and butter on a medium heat.
Place the chocolate chips in a medium bowl.
Pour the warm cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes.
Stir until the chocolate has dissolved.
Roughly tear the cake into pieces and add it into the chocolate mixture. Pour the rum into the mixture, making sure that some goes on top of the sponge. Stir the mixture.
