Black Satin Fudge Cake

6 large eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1 ½ cups butter
6 ½ ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
9 ½ ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
4 teaspoons coffee extract
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup white corn syrup
2 tablespoons molasses

Whisk the eggs and sugar together at medium speed until mixture begins to thicken.

Over low heat, melt the butter in a sauce pan.  Once melted, add the unsweetened chocolate and stir until melted.  Turn off the heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until smooth.

In a saucepan over medium-low heat, cook brown sugar, corn syrup, and molasses to soft thread (210-215 degrees)

Add the egg mixture to the soft thread syrup.  When mixed, add the chocolate mixture.

Spray a 12 inch spring form pan with baking spray, line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and spray again.  Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan.

Bake 30 minutes at 300 degrees.  Turn the oven off, but let cake remain in the oven for an additional 30 minutes.  Remove and let cool completely to room temperature.

Once cool, the cake can be frozen if desired.
