Ingredients

3 ounces chocolate chopped
1 ounce chocolate unsweetened unsweetened, chopped
1 cup coffee hot, strong
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups cake flour
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350.

Use a tube pan that is constructed in one piece because the batter is very thin and will flow through the seams of a 2-piece pan.

Butter it GENEROUSLY and coat it with flour.

Tap out excess. Measure out everything.

Melt the chocolate close to the end because if it cools it won't mix in properly.

Heat the chocolate with 2 TBS of coffee over low heat, stirring constantly until it is just melted and smooth.

Reserve. Cream the butter; then gradually add the sugar and beat until the mixture is light.

Add the eggs one at a time; then STIR in the vanilla and the melted chocolate.

Sift the flour and measure 2 cups; then resift with the baking soda and the salt.

GENTLY STIR it into the batter, ALTERNATING it with the rest of the coffee, until all is incorporated.

Pour the batter into the tube pan, and bake the cake for 50 minutes, or until the cake pulls away from the sides and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Let rest 5 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a rack to cool.

When cool, dust with powdered sugar.

You may cut the cake in half and fill it with a chocolate icing but it stands superbly alone.

Cable Car Tuna Casserole

I first encountered this recipe over 10 years ago while visiting a friend. It was my first tuna casserole and I fell in love. I copied from his cookbook and promptly lost it a few months later. I have been searching for this recipe ever since! It is sooooo creamy and delicious. The sharp cheddar cheese gives it a nice bite. I don't care for almonds on/in my food so I skip that but everything else is the same. This will make the most anti-tuna casserole person fall in love with the dish! YUMMMMMMMMMY!
