SLICES OF SIN (improves with age)
8 oz semisweet chocolate (use the good kind)
1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
2 sticks butter
1 cup sugar
4 eggs, beaten
1 cup heavy cream
2-3 tsp brandy
Preheat oven to 350°. Line a glass loaf pan w/foil; butter the foil. In the top of a
double boiler, melt the chocolate in the coffee (can do this in a microwave). Add the
butter & sugar, stirring until the butter is melted. Cool the mixture for 10 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time. Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Bake until a
crust forms on top, approximately 35-45 minutes. Set the loaf pan in enough cool water to
come halfway up the pan. The dessert will rise & fall as it cools. (Don't put the
glass pan in the cool water until the pan cools a bit.) When cool, wrap the pan well &
refrigerate for at least 2 days or up to 2 weeks. When ready to serve, beat the cream
until stiff. Stir in the brandy. Unmold the loaf & slice into individual servings.
Garnish w/dollops of cream. Serves 10-12.
