To cook is to create. And

New Orleans Jolt Cake
"Leaving New Orleans also frightened me
considerably. Outside
of the city limits the heart of darkness, the true wasteland begins."

Seb's - New Orleans
Gourmet November
1989
Trust
me, this cake is NOT for the faint of heart. It is basically a flourless
chocolate cake
with a New Orleans twist. The flavors of both chocolate
and
coffee are intense. New
Orleans is, after all, an intense city. If you
can't stand
da heat, cher, get outta da
kitchen!
4 sticks (2 cups)
unsalted butter
1 cup brewed espresso
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons
sugar
1/4 teaspoon freshly
grated orange zest
1/4 teaspoon orange
extract
2 tablespoons Grand
Marnier
12 ounces semisweet
chocolate, chopped
4 ounces unsweetened
chocolate, chopped
8 large eggs, beaten
lightly
In a small saucepan melt
the butter over moderately low heat, stir in
the espresso, sugar, zest, orange extract and
Grand Marnier, and trans-
fer the mixture to a bowl. In the top of a double boiler set over
barely simmering water melt the semisweet chocolate and the unsweetened
chocolate,
stirring occasionally. Stir the chocolates into the butter mix-
ture and add the eggs,
stirring until the mixture is just combined.
Line the bottom of a
buttered 9-inch cake pan, 2 inches deep, with parchment paper and butter the paper. Spoon
the batter into the pan,
put
the pan in a baking dish, and add enough hot water to the
dish to
reach halfway up the side of the pan. Bake the cake in the middle of
a preheated
350-degree oven for 1 hour. Remove the cake from the
water bath and let
it cool on a rack,
and chill it, covered loosely, for
3 hours.
Run a thin knife around
the inside of the pan and dip the bottom of
the
pan in hot water for 3 seconds. Invert a
platter over the pan, invert
the
cake with a sharp rap onto the platter, and cut it with a
sharp knife
dipped
in hot water, cleaning the knife before cutting each slice.
