newchef- you will not taste the coffee. Coffee really does just enhance the chocolate’s flavor. I’m not a coffee drinker but I never make chocolate cake or brownies or even chocolate fondue without coffee. I have several friends and family members who HATE (their words) coffee and the smell of coffee—but they love my chocolate baked goods. Some have no idea there is chocolate in them, some do. Just want to reassure you! You could make your coffee weak–or buy a cup and dilute it. Otherwise, just use plain water. I wouldn’t add anything else, this recipe sounds perfect–a lot like Ina Garten’s recipe which is pretty darn perfect. Happy baking!

Laurie, I’m not a coffee fan and I need a chocolate fix. What can I substitute for the coffee?

Hi! There are two types of premium cocoas. Natural and Dutch. The Natural is a dark, bittersweet cocoa and is perfect for baking while the Dutch is better for hot cocoa and coffees etc. I hope this helps! I get mine through Penzeys Spices http://www.penzeys.com!

What is ‘Natural High Fat Cocoa’? I’ve never heard of it.
