Ingredients
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas mark 4. Grease a 20cm/8in round springform cake tin.
Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir in the coffee and put aside until cooled.
Beat the eggs, gradually beat in the sugar and continue beating until soft and creamy. Fold in the flour alternately with the cooled chocolate mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, and bake in the oven for 30–35 minutes. Leave in the tin to cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack. While the cake is still warm, sprinkle the brandy over, then chill overnight. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
