    · 2 oz Unsweetened chocolate, chopped
    · 1/3 c Freshly brewed espresso
    · 1 c Unsalted butter

    Recipe

    Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.

    Butter 10-inch-diameter springform pan with 2-inch-high sides.

    Melt both chocolates with coffee and butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring until smooth. Pour into large bowl. Cool. Mix in vanilla extract.

    Using electric mixer, beat yolks with both sugars in medium bowl until slowly dissolving ribbon forms when beaters are lifted. Fold yolk mixture into chocolate mixture. Fold in flour.

    Using electric mixer fitted with clean, dry beaters, beat whites in another large bowl until almost stiff. Fold 1/4 of whites into chocolate mixture to lighten. Gently fold in remaining whites.
