Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 pound (3 1/4 cups) all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon coarse salt

  • 4 sticks softened unsalted butter, plus more for pans

  • 2 cups sugar

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • 9 large eggs, room-temperature

  • 2 cups semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips

  • 6 ounces chopped semisweet chocolate

  • 5 tablespoons coffee liqueur, preferably Kahlua

  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup

  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter two 5-by-9-inch loaf pans. Combine flour and salt in a bowl.

Cream butter and sugar with a mixer on high speed until pale and fluffy, for 8 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl. Reduce speed to medium, and add vanilla extract.

Lightly beat eggs, and add to mixer bowl in 4 additions, mixing thoroughly after each and scraping down sides. Reduce speed to low, and add flour mixture in 4 additions, mixing until just incorporated. Fold chocolate chips into finished batter. Divide batter between pans. Tap on counter to distribute; smooth tops.

Bake until a tester inserted into center of each cake comes out clean, about 65 minutes. Let cool in pans on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire rack.

Make the chocolate-coffee liqueur sauce: Heat chopped semisweet chocolate, coffee liqueur, vanilla extract, and corn syrup in a double boiler over simmering water. Whisk until chocolate has melted completely. Serve with scoops of vanilla ice cream.

                I just made it for the first time and its absolutely delicious.  The only change I made was cutting salt in half.  Wish I could post a pic!  I'll definitely make it again.

                Be careful with this one--Do not over stir or you will end up with a brick! Also, I halved the recipe & my cake was swimming in butter...not so sure about this one, but am determined to try again.

                I made this cake for my husband's birthday and while the cake turned out to be visually beautiful, the amount of salt is  overwhelming. A teaspoon of course salt would be more appropriate for this recipe. A tablespoon just made the cake taste gross!
