directions

  • 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.
  • Add the butter& sugar, stirring until the butter is melted.
  • Cool the mixture for 10 minutes.
  • Beat in the eggs 1 at a time.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake until a crust forms on top, approximately 35-45 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly then set the loaf pan in enough cool water to come halfway up the pan.
  • Make sure the water isn't cold, it could crack your pan.
  • I usually have it a little warmer than"luke warm" for a minute or so, then dump that water and use cool.
  • So far that has worked for me.
  • The dessert will rise& fall as it cools.
  • When cool, wrap the pan well in foil& refrigerate for at least 2 days or up to 2 weeks.
  • When ready to serve, beat the cream until stiff (can flavor with 2-3 tsp brandy, but I just used vanilla& a little sugar).
  • Unmold the loaf& slice.
  • Garnish w/cream.

  1. I should have done this the first time I tried this recipe. It was so creamy, rich and yummy. We had it over three nights. Whipped cream the first, decadent canilla bean ice cream the second and on the lst night my hubby got inventive and poured coffee liquer and grand marnier and topped with whipped cream. Now if that isn't sin I don't know what is. Making it for Mom on Sunday, other than the cream nit sure how I'm going to serve it. Many thanks for such a awesome versatile dessert.
     
  2. This was ok, but not what I expected. I'm not a coffee drinker, and the flavor really came through in my opinion. I may try this again, finding something else to sub for the coffee.
     
  3. This just didnt turn out like I thought it would. I followed the directions to the letter and even thought I am a chocoholic, this just wasnt for me!
     
  4. Oh my! Oh my! Well, I knew it was in the fridge, and I just could not wait another day! (We lasted 1.5 days of refrigeration.) It was wonderful.....hard to describe, not cake, not pudding, more like a slice of chocolate truffle....a keeper and then some! It was rich, but not overly so, perfect!
     
  5. My MIL has made this recipe on several occasions. It is creamy and delicious and I have to say, it is one of the best tasting chocolate desserts that I have ever tasted. Even though it is very rich, it is so good that I've wanted to eat the whole thing by myself.

I'm married, (almost 30 yrs), to my best friend and fellow foodie. My Icon picture is us in '78. We got married on my Birthday. We have 3 children, and just had our 4th grand (the 1st girl!!) We moved to New Orleans from Ky in 1999 because 2 of our kids were down here having families and I sure didn't want to be a long distance grandma..so we packed up and rented out our house and there we were. I loved that city. Besides my family, of course, I love cooking, cook books, reading,(and reading cookbooks!) my cat, needlework, gardening (but haven't done too much of that here), music,learning about this computer,discovering hidden treasures in the form of restaraunts in New Orleans--I'm not kidding, that place had more places to eat than I have ever seen... and there are so many good ones the bad and mediocre ones don't last long. I also enjoy making food baskets for the holidays, putting in things I have made from candies, breads and cookies to jellies & pickles. We have a cat, Noodle, who survived the "Storm who will not be named" a 19 pound ball of fur love. Now that we've in N.W. Louisiana for almost 2 years, I'm coming out of my culture shock...just because it's Loisiana doesn't mean the food is like New Orleans, in fact this area is more Tex-Mex with a little country thrown in... your basic average good food. Still looking for a place to make me say "WOW" !! I've decided to up date this a little, and it looks like we will be staying here in NW Louisiana for a while anyway. I have found a home here, a wonderful Church a few good places to eat, some beautiful friends..Life does indeed, go on.. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/beartag_1_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/adopted_1_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> and <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting">
