 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
  250      grams         butter
  150      grams         dark chocolate
    2      cups          coarse, granulated sugar
    1 1/4  cups          hot water
    1      tablespoon    dry, instant coffee
    1 1/2  cups          plain flour
      1/4  cup           self-raising flour
      1/4  cup           cocoa
    2                    eggs
    5      drops         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 150oC {degrees celcius}  best) for about 1.25 to 1.5 hours.
 Let the cake stand for 10 minutes before turning onto a tray.
 This cake is great served either hot or cold.
