Slice Of Sin - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
8 ounces semisweet chocolate (use a good brand)
1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
1/2 lb butter
1 cup sugar
4 eggs, beaten
1 cup heavy cream
Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0.
Line a glass loaf pan w/foil; butter the foil.
In the top of a double boiler, melt the chocolate in the coffee.
Add the butter& sugar, stirring until the butter is melted.
Cool the mixture for 10 minutes.
Beat in the eggs 1 at a time.
Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake until a crust forms on top, approximately 35-45 minutes.
Let cool slightly then set the loaf pan in enough cool water to come halfway up the pan.
Make sure the water isn't cold, it could crack your pan.
I usually have it a little warmer than\"luke warm\" for a minute or so, then dump that water and use cool.
So far that has worked for me.
The dessert will rise& fall as it cools.
When cool, wrap the pan well in foil& refrigerate for at least 2 days or up to 2 weeks.
When ready to serve, beat the cream until stiff (can flavor with 2-3 tsp brandy, but I just used vanilla& a little sugar).
Unmold the loaf& slice.
Garnish w/cream.
