5 ounces unsweetened chocolate
2 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup dry instant coffee
Boiling water
Cold water
1/2 cup Jack Daniels
1 cup (2 sticks) sweet butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups granulated sugar
3 eggs (large or extra large)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour 9-inch tube pan.

Melt chocolate; set aside to cool.

Sift flour, soda, and salt together. Dissolve coffee in a bit of boiling water, add cold water to equal 1 1/2 cups; add the Jack Daniels and set aside.

Cream butter, vanilla extract and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add melted chocolate.

On low speed, add the flour alternating with the liquid mixture. It will be a thin batter. Pour into pan and rotate to distribute batter evenly in pan. Bake 1 hour and 10-15 minutes.

Cool in pan for 15 min before removing.

Optional: drizzle with extra chocolate or make a mixture of powdered sugar, water and 1 tablespoon Jack Daniels. THIS IS VERY RICH!!
