Gradually add cream, coffee liqueur, Frangelico and vanilla and beat until mixture is smooth.

Transfer filling to prepared pan. Bake until outer 3 inches of cake puff and center is gently set but moist looking, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Cool on rack. Cover and refrigerate until cake is well chilled, at least 6 hours. (can be prepared 1 day ahead)

For Glaze: Boil coffee liqueur, Frangelico and rum in heavy medium saucepan until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 3 mintues. Reduce heat to low and add chocolate, cream, and butter. Stir until mixture is smooth.

Using small sharp knife, cut around pan sides to loosen cake. Release and remove pan sides. Pour chocolate glaze over cake. Spread smoothly over top and sides covering completely. Chill until chocolate is is firm, at least 2 hours.

Invert cake onto serving platter. Peel off paper. Smooth top. Using warm knife, cut into wedges and serve.
