Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup strong coffee
8 large eggs
16 ounces semisweet chocolate

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.

  • Stir in chocolate and mix to a uniform color.
  • Pour in pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes.
  • Cake will fall slightly as it cools.
  • When room temperature, open springform pan, peel foil away from sides, place serving plate on top and flip over. Remove remaining foil.
  • Serve at room temperature.
