a super chocolatey cake with Irish whiskey and coffee: The Irish Chocolate Cake

First, melt the chocolate (the amount is *not* a typo!). This works best over a double boiler, but a saucepan with “gentle” heat will also do. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Separately, combine the coffee and Irish whiskey. Cream the butter, sugar, and bourbon vanilla sugar until fluffy, then beat in the eggs one at a time. Now add the melted chocolate and mix well. Then alternately stir in the flour mixture and the coffee-whiskey mixture (one-third each). Mix everything into a smooth batter; don’t be surprised if the batter is quite runny. The cake can be baked in a loaf or bundt pan, which should be well greased. When I bake the cake, I use a silicone baking pan. Bake at 165°C (329°F) for 50-60 minutes. Let cool for about 15-20 minutes after baking. Turn out of the tin and dust with icing sugar if desired.
