This recipe from my friend and mentor Maida Heatter is adapted from one called 86—Proof Chocolate Cake in her Book of Great Chocolate Desserts. The original recipe calls for dissolving 60ml instant espresso or regular instant coffee granules in boiling water before proceeding. I prefer to use strong brewed coffee.
