A simlpe and easy to make moist and tender snack cake. The coffee (I used 1 heaping tbls of instant decaf) offsets the sweetness of the sugar. Because I was using a glass 9x13 inch dish, I cooked the cake @ 325°F for 45 minutes and topped it with a bittersweet chocolate glaze.

Dear Claire: Thanks for the cake recipe using the egg yolks up. I haven't made it yet but plan to this week as I have company coming for the weekend including some teenage grandsons. Chocolate cake is always a hit with them. Fondly Charlene Pilcher
