Thanks! I have a similar recipe, that calls for coffee to be poured over, and PeppA can't stand the smell or taste of coffee! I may have to make this soon!

I make this all the time. My boys can't enough of it!!
I love how the dry ingredients and the water end up hot fudge at the bottom )

I'm making this, Choc, but maybe instead of boiling water, I'll pour AllenMI's coffee over it.

Is that essentially all that's different, Allen?

Oh my goodness! This sounds awesome fabulous! I may have to pass this one on to the local coffee shop! Do I just copy and send the link to this thread?

Ok, I can't post the recipe at this time, due to copyright infridgement. However, in the recipe I have, you make a thick, sticky, chocolate cake batter and pour that into a baking pan. Then, you mix some brown sugar, white sugar, and cocoa powder, and sprinkle that over the batter. Finally, a mixture of coffee and water is poured over that, and baked. It's VERY good.

This is a TNT for me too! Soooo addictive and it seems to follow a really wide range of dinners well. I love it with a blob of really cold whip cream or on days when you really need a sugar fix, a drizzle of caramel sauce. Fresh berries on the side of the plate can be nice too, but this cake is awesome just as it is.

I just bought a tester of Starbucks Coffee Liqueur, think I might try this recipe with it and test it out on the coworkers!

I'm with PeppA on that one!

My mother used to make this when I was a little girl. I really should make it for my chocoholic husband. Of course, I may a little too!

Can you make this recipe ahead, put it in the frige, and then reheat it? We would like to fix this today and serve it tomorrow?

Oh my gosh. This looks so good. Thanks!

My mother used to make this dessert when I was a little girl. Brings back warm fuzzy memories. I really must make this for my husband, who is also a chocoholic.

My mother had torn a similar recipe out of a Taste of Home's Holiday
Recipe Card collection. We decided to go ahead and cook it on the day of Thanksgiving since we were not sure it could be done ahead of time. I served it in Martini glasses with sugar and orange and yellow sprinkles on top of the glass. Everyone seemed to love it.

Wow! That sound VERY GOOD!

I know it's a little late to say it, I just saw the questions from abj, this dessert is best when fresh and hot. It is okay reaheated, but, not near as good fresh.
