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.
