dense, sexy, deliciousness. 

Slice it thin, or you won't be able to fall asleep!

• 16 oz. chocolate (the darker, the better)
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 3/4 cup strong coffee
• 1 cup butter
• 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
• 8 eggs, room temperature
• 1 Tablespoon bourbon, or vanilla

Preheat oven to 350.

Butter and line bottom of springform pan.

Shave chocolate into small pieces and feed into food processor with sugar until sandy grain consistency.

Pour in coffee and pulse until melted.  Add butter and cocoa powder.  Then add eggs and vanilla until liquid and creamy. 

Pour into pans and wrap in tin foil that you will fold up, so edges don't burn, or do a water bath.

Bake 55-65 minutes.  Check with toothpick.  Cool.  The cake will deflate.  Chill 3-8 hours, then release from pan. 

If you want a fancy top, you can make a ganache (50% melted chocolate, 50% heavy cream) and pour on top.
