Ingredients
Instructions
Melt chocolate in ⅓ cup coffee over very low heat, stirring constantly. When melted, set aside to cool slightly. In a mixing bowl cream butter and brown sugar. Add eggs one at a time and beat well. Add vanilla extract and blend in melted chocolate. Beat well. Combine and fork-sift dry ingredients and add alternately with 1 cup coffee, mixing just enough to combine, by hand or on lowest mixer speed.
Pour batter into two well-buttered 9-inch cake pans lined with buttered waxed paper. Bake at 350º F for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Do not remove cake too soon or it will fall. Cool 10 minutes in pan, then remove and cool on rack. (Layers are fragile; handle carefully.) Frost with Dark Chocolate Frosting.
