Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cups unbleached white flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 3/4 cups strong freshly brewed coffee

1/4 cup bourbon, brandy, or a coffee, chocolate,

or mocha liqueur

5 ounces unsweetened chocolate

1 cup butter

2 cups sugar

2 eggs -- lightly beaten

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

 

This is a very dark, moist, adult chocolate cake. It keeps well and travels

well. The recipe is from Sarah Begus, a famous Baltimore hostess.

 

Preheat the oven to 275F. (Yes, that really is 275F.)

 

Generously butter a 10-inch bundt pan and dust it with cocoa.

 

Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Heat the coffee and liqueur on

low heat for about 5 minutes. Add the chocolate and butter and stir until

melted. When this mixture is smooth, add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Let

the mixture cool for several minutes and then transfer it to a large mixing

bowl. Add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture about a half-cup at a time,

beating after each addition until smooth, Then add the eggs and vanilla. Beat

for another minute.

 

Pour the batter into the bundt pan and bake for about 1 1/2hours, until the cake

pulls away from the sides of the pan and springs back when touched in the

middle. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes in the

pan. Then invert the cake onto a plate. Remove the bundt pan when the cake is

completely cool.

 

This cake is good plain or with whipped cream. Or brush the surface of the cake

with 2 or 3 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate, melted and mixed with 1 or 2

tablespoons of cream or coffee.
