2/3 c. butter
4 sq. unsweetened chocolate
2 c. sugar
4 eggs, well beaten
1 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. vanilla

Preparation:

Step 1: Melt butter with chocolate in saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and add sugar and eggs.

Step 2: Combine flour, baking powder and salt; beat into chocolate mixture. Add vanilla.

Step 3: Line greased jelly roll pan with wax paper. Pour in batter, spread evenly. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Cake should be soft, not crisp.

Step 4: Turn out on rack and cool. Invert on clean towel and carefully peel off paper.

CHOCOLATE GLAZE:

Place 4 squares of semi-sweet chocolate and 3 tablespoons strong coffee in top of double boiler and melt over hot water.

This is a "fussy" dessert, but not as difficult as it sounds. Make it the day before when you have time. This is what my mother called "company dessert". It will serve 20 people. This cake is a snap to make and for the devout chocoholic absolutely wonderful.
