 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
250      g             Butter
150      g             Dark chocolate
  2      c             Coarse, granulated sugar
  1 1/4  c             Water -- hot
  1      tb            Dry, instant coffee
  1 1/2  c             Plain flour
    1/4  c             Self-raising flour
    1/4  c             Cocoa
  2                    Eggs
  5      dr            Vanilla essence

Grease a 23 cm cake tin quite lavishly.

Chop up the butter and chocolate and combine with the sugar, vanilla
essence, water, and coffee in a double saucepan or heatproof bowl.
Stir over hot water until it has all melted.

Cool the mixture until it's lukewarm.

Transfer the mixture to a large bowl, stir in sifted flours and
cocoa, and then finally, the eggs.

Pour the mixture into the greased pan and bake in a moderately slow
oven (I find 150 C best) for about 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours.

Let the cake stand for 10 minutes before turning onto a tray.

This cake is great served either hot or cold.
