Directions

1. Heat oven to 325 degrees. 

2. Butter a 10-inch springform type baking pan.

4. In a medium saucepan over low heat, warm the coffee, Boxergrail, 12 tablespoons butter and remaining cocoa powder.

5. Whisk occasionally, until the butter is completely melted.

6. Whisk in brown sugar and cane sugar – stirring until completely dissolved.

7. Once dissolved, remove from heat and allow to cool completely.

8. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, pepper and cloves. 

9. In another (medium) bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla. 

10. Next, slowly whisk egg mixture into the chocolate mixture.
