		Torta Di Cioccolata Alla Sanna

	  from Chocolatier, Vol. 1, No.	1

	    The	Mocha Divine Cake, originally created by Sanna
       Cohen of	Sanna's	Restaurant in philadelphia, is delicious
       proof of	how chocolate is translated on a transcontinental
       scale.  The original recipe called for a	sweeter, milkier
       chocolate for the cake, but the customers at Washington
       Square Bar and Grill in San Francisco wanted a denser, more
       bittersweet taste in their desert, so the recipe	was altered
       to fir the needs	of the restaurant's clientele and renamed
       in honor	of its creator,	Torta Di Cioccolata alla Sanna.


	1 pound	sweet butter
	1 cup plus 2 tablespons	sugar
	1 cup plus 2 tablespoons espresso or french roast coffee
	12 ounces bittersweet chocolate
	4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
	8 large	eggs

	1.  Preheat oven to 350	degrees. Line a	9X3 inch flase
       bottom or spring- form pan with aluminum	foil and grease	and
       flour generously.  Set aside.

	2.  In saucepan, over LOW heat,	melt together sweet butter,
       sugar, and coffee.

	3.  Whisk the above ingredients	together.

	4.  Add	chocolate and continue to stir until melted.

	5.  Remove from	heat and add the eggs, slightly	beaten.

	6.  Whisk together and turn into prepared pan.	Bake for
       50-55 minutes.  Cake is done when top has a crust and is	dry
       to touch.  You can eat this as soon as it is cool enough, or
       refrigerate up to 12-14 hours and eat it	then.

	Yields 12-14 servings

	Note:  This is a chocoholic's delight. No flour, one pound
       of chocolate.  It is very simple	to make, and of	course,
       contains	no calories.

I assume you mean dry (as opposed to liquid) coffee, right?
