Slices of Sin
List of Ingredients
8 oz semisweet chocolate (use a good brand)*
1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
2 sticks butter, (1/2 lb)
1 cup sugar
4 eggs, beaten
1 cup heavy cream
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350°. Line a glass loaf pan with foil; butter the foil. In the top of a double boiler, melt the chocolate in the coffee. Add the butter and 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. Set the loaf pan in enough cool water to come halfway up the pan**. The dessert will rise and fall as it cools. When cool, wrap the pan well & 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 and slice. Garnish with cream.
Serves 10-12.
Notes from Marlen:
**I was afraid the glass loaf pan would crack if I just plunk it into cold water. I placed it in warm water and added ice chips to the water until it was cold.
***I used the brandy.
The real hard part is waiting the 2 days to eat it!
