Categories: Cakes, Desserts
Yield: 6 servings

2 c Unsalted butter (4 sticks)
1 c Espresso, brewed
1 c + 2 tb sugar
1/4 t Orange zest, fresh
1/4 t Orange extract
2 tb Grand Marnier
12 oz Semisweet chocolate, chopped
4 oz Unsweetend chocolate, chopp

number of servings depends on how big you like your slices. <grin>
In a small saucpan, melt the butter over moderately low heat, stir in the
espresso, the sugar, the zest, the orange extract, and the Grand Marnier,
and transfer the mixture to a bowl. In the top of a double-boiler set
over barely simmering water, melt the semisweet and the unsweetened
chocolate, stirring occasionally. Stir the chocolates into the butter
mixture, add the eggs, stirring until the mixture is just combined.
Line the bottom of a buttered 9" cake pan, 2" deep, with parchment paper
and butter the paper. Spoon the mixture into the pan, put the pan in a
baking dish, and add enough hot water to the dish to reach halfway up the
side of the pan. Bake the cake in the middle of preheated 350F degree
oven for 1 hour. Remove the cake from the water bath, let it cool on a
rack, and chill it, covered loosely, for 3 hours. Run a thin knife around
the inside of the pan and dip the bottom of the pan in hot water for 3
seconds. Invert a platter over the pan, invert thecake with a sharp rap
onto the platter, and cut it with a sharp knife dipped in hot water,
cleaning the knife before cutting each slice.
