Equipment

Ingredients

  • Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1-1/4 cups strong brewed coffee
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 5 ounces unsweetened chocolate
  • 1 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 275° F. Butter a 9" tube pan and dust the bottom and sides with cocoa powder.
  • Heat coffee and bourbon in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Add chocolate and butter and stir until smooth. Remove from heat.
  • Add the sugar to the chocolate mixture and let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Stir flour with baking soda and salt. Add to the chocolate mixture in thirds, stirring well between additions.
  • Add eggs and vanilla, and stir until smooth. Pour into pan.
  • Bake approximately 1-1/2 hours. Cool completely before unmolding.

To unmold:


  • Run a knife around the edge of the cake, set a plate over the pan, and invert the cake onto the plate. Then, set another plate on top of the cake and flip the cake onto the plate. Its top should be upright.

Notes

Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
Substitute equal amounts of coffee for bourbon if you would like to omit the liquor.
