directions

  • To make the loaf, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and grease a 9" x 5" loaf pan.
  • Line with parchment paper and place on a baking sheet.
  • Melt the chocolate in the microwave on medium heat, stirring intermittently (or over a pot of simmering water, stirring constantly.).
  • Stir in the coffee granules and set aside to cool.
  • Cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and stir in the vanilla.
  • Stir in the cooled chocolate and blend well.
  • In a separate bowl, sift the flour with the baking soda, five-spice powder and salt.
  • Add the flour alternately with the boiling water, mixing gently after each addition and starting and ending with the flour. The batter will be very wet.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Let cool completely before removing from the pan.
  • To make the mocha chocolate cream, heat the cream to just below a simmer.
  • Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and instant coffee and whisk until the chocolate is melted and evenly blended.
  • Chill completely.
  • Whip the chocolate cream with an electric mixer until the cream holds a peak when the beaters are lifted.
  • Serve a dollop of cream on the side of a slice of the loaf cake.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live with my husband, four cats, and a sweet mutt named Jada in Scarborough, Ontario, where I work as an elementary school administrative assistant. I have a 31 year old daughter who lives with her boyfriend in nearby Don Mills, along with my sweet granddogs, Frankie and Turbo. I would have to say that my passion is animals, since I have so many of them! <br /><img src=http://images.quizilla.com/H/h0t5auce/1108834307_brown_answer.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/532663/cookswithcattitude.JPG alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/CalendarGirlsSwap2009.jpg alt= /> <br /><br />If I had a month off work to do what I please, I would first catch up on my sleep and then just have fun - see a few movies and maybe take a couple of short trips - something that wouldn't break the bank - lol!</p>
