* Exported from MasterCook Mac * Chocaholics Revenge Recipe By : Sophie Best Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Cakes Chocolate Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 250 grams butter 150 grams dark chocolate 2 cups coarse, granulated sugar 1 1/4 cups hot water 1 tablespoon dry, instant coffee 1 1/2 cups plain flour 1/4 cup self-raising flour 1/4 cup cocoa 2 eggs 5 drops vanilla essence Grease a 23 cm cake tin quite lavishly. Chop up the butter and chocolate and combine with the sugar, vanilla essence, water and coffee in a double saucepan or heatproof bowl. Stir over hot water until it has all melted. Cool the mixture until it's lukewarm. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl, stir in sifted flours and cocoa, and then finally, the eggs. Pour the mixture into the greased pan and bake in a moderately slow oven (I find 150oC {degrees celcius} best) for about 1.25 to 1.5 hours. Let the cake stand for 10 minutes before turning onto a tray. This cake is great served either hot or cold. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
