Ingredients

12 ounce Semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup Butter, softened (plus extra for greasing)
1/4 cup Sugar
1/4 cup Water
1 teaspoon Instant coffee granules
3 large Eggs
1 container Whipped cream, for serving

Directions

1
Preheat the oven to 425&# 194;Â°F (220ÃÂ°C).
2
Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
3
Place a 12-inch square sheet of waxed paper into the pie plate, pressing it to fit, and butter the top side of the paper.
4
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the semisweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup softened butter, sugar, water, and instant coffee granules.
5
Heat the mixture over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth.
6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the eggs one at a time, mixing until the batter is smooth and uniform.
7
Pour the batter into the prepared waxed paper-lined pie plate.
8
Bake for 10 minutes. The cake will not be completely set in the middle; this is normal.
9
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
10
Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours, or overnight, to set.
11
When ready to serve, remove the cake from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
12
Invert the cake onto a large flat serving dish and gently peel off the waxed paper.
13
Top with whipped cream and serve immediately.

Note

Storage: This cake must be refrigerated due to the eggs and butter. It can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Substitutions: For a dairy-free version, use high-quality vegan chocolate chips and dairy-free butter. Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing.

Tips: The instant coffee enhances the chocolate flavor without making it taste like coffee. Do not skip this step. If you prefer a sweeter cake, you can increase the sugar slightly, but be careful not to make it too wet.

Variations: Add a handful of chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) to the batter for added texture. You can also dust the top with cocoa powder instead of using whipped cream.

Safety: Ensure the cake is fully chilled before inverting to prevent it from breaking apart. Handle the hot saucepan with care.
