Fairmont Empress Hotel Chocolate Italiano Cake - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 1/4 lbs dark chocolate chips (the best quality you can afford)
1 lb butter, melted
1 cup sugar
1 cup strong coffee
7 eggs
Preparation
-
Melt dark chocolate; add melted butter.
Add sugar into hot coffee and add to chocolate and butter.
Slowly add eggs while scraping the bowl.
Line a 8\" or 10\" spring form pan with aluminum foil.
Pour mixture into prepared pan.
Bake at 350\u00b0 F for 35 minutes.
Cool completely before removing from pan.
It's quite a heavy chocolate cake so I would garnish with a light fruit like pears, strawberries or perhaps a raspberry coulis. Whipped cream or creme Anglaise will go nicely, as well.
Note: I have never made this, so I do not know how easily it will slice. I think using a hot knife would be a good idea.
