Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and butter an 8-inch round springform pan. Line bottom with a round of wax paper and butter paper.
- Chop chocolate into small pieces. In a double boiler or metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt chocolate with butter, stirring, until smooth. Remove top of double boiler or bowl from heat and whisk sugar into chocolate mixture. Add in Coffee, eggs and whisk well. Sift 1/2 cup cocoa powder over chocolate mixture and whisk until just combined. Pour batter into pan and bake in middle of oven 25 minutes, or until top has formed a thin crust. Cool cake in pan on a rack 5 minutes and invert onto a serving plate.
- Dust cake with powdered sugar, top with strawberries or raspberries, and serve with sorbet if desired or with raspberry or strawberry sauce on top and if you want to go all out there's always more chocolate sauce you could drizzle on! Heat up some raspberries and or strawberries in a little coconut palm sugar until they break down into a sauce. Pour over a slice of cake with fresh raspberries and strawberries. Blueberries are good too!
