This dessert is very dense in texture and rich in flavor. The name definitely says it all. It was deep, rich, and most definitely intense. And that’s before glazing it! Actually, to say this cake is intense is an understatement. I would described this cake as death-by-chocolate - but a sweet way to go. With half a pound of chocolate and 3 sticks of butter, it tasted like a chocolate truffle cheesecake without the sour tang from the cream cheese. There was no doubt that the coffee did its job of adding depth and complexity to the chocolate.Tip: Instead of glazing the cake whole and slicing wedges, try cutting out rounds to make a bunch of small cakes (before the glaze).
Ingredients:
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
12 ounces (3 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brewed coffee
