| Ginger - I have had your recipe printed out for so long and still haven't made it. I think it will make a perfect addition to my Thanksgiving menu. I have one question, I am not a big coffee lover, but I am a chocolate lover - does the 1/2 cup of coffee give it a lot of flavor or is it mild? Thanks for your help and keep those great recipes coming. |

| I don't drink coffee either but this sure adds to the rich flavor. I wouldn't omit it. It doesn't taste like coffee though. I hope you like it. It's my standby. |

| Ginger's recipe is probably one of the first I saved on the Cooking forum, even though she doesn't post there anymore. Here's the original and a recent posting. Posted by: Ginger-St Thomas on Tue, Nov 9, 99 at 10:07 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.

When cool enough to handle, set the loaf pan in enough cool water to come halfway up the pan. The dessert wil rise & fall as it cools. 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 (can flavor with 2-3 tsp brandy, but I just used vanilla & a little sugar). Unmold the loaf & slice. Garnish w/cream. ~~From Capital Classics |

| Thank you for your response. I will definitely make it and I will add the coffee - I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a strong coffee flavor. I am sure we will enjoy it. I think this may be the recipe that has been requested and posted the most times on this entire site. Thank you Ginger. |
