Recipe Introduction


"Dave sent us this amazing recipe. His father used to make it and Dave warns us that it's not for the faint of heart!!!! This is a charlotte-style cake, for true chocolate fans everywhere!"



List of Ingredients




Filling:
1/2 cup Strong Coffee
3 eggs, separated
1/2 cups coffee liqueur
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate

Cake:
1 package favorite brownie mix (or 1 batch favorite brownie recipe)
2 tablespoons water
3 eggs

Glaze:
1/2 pounds semisweet chocolate
1/3 cup water or coffee (not strong)


Recipe



For the brownie cake:

Preheat oven to 350:.
Beat ingredients together at medium speed until batter is smooth. Grease an 11x15 jelly-roll pan, or use a cookie sheet with sides. Line with waxed paper. Vegetable spray or grease and lightly flour the paper, shaking off excess.
Spread batter evenly in the pan. Bake 10-12 minutes or until done. Turn cake onto cooling rack, cool 10 minutes, and remove paper while still warm.
Lightly oil a two-quart charlotte mold. Using a sharp knife, cut out a round bottom and top (to fit the mold) from the cooled cake. Cut the remainder into strips, lining the charlotte mold completely. (Pieces are ok, because the glaze covers all.)

For the Filling:
While the cake is baking, melt chocolate with coffee in the top of a double boiler. When melted, remove the pan from the heat.
Beat egg yolks until pale yellow and stir into chocolate mixture. Stir quickly to avoid cooking the yolks.
In a separate bowl, whip the cream.
Using clean beaters and a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until firm but not stiff.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture. Fold in the beaten eggs whites last, enough to mix well but not so much as to deflate the egg whites too much. Chill in the refrigerator.
Spoon the cooled mixture into the cake-lined mold. Fit the larger round of the cake onto the mold.
Chill 3-4 hours or until the mousse sets. Remove from mold onto a plate or serving dish.

For the glaze:
Melt chocolate in water and stir until smooth. Spread over the top of cake and drizzle down the sides covering entire cake.
Chill again to set glaze.

Serve to very anxiously-awaiting guests.
