Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray pan with cooking spray and toast walnuts until evenly browned. Shake occasionally.

Prepare bottom layer by melting butter and chocolate together in a double boiler. Whisk together until smooth and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in espresso, vanilla, and salt. Whisk in the sugar and add eggs 1 at a time, whisking well after each addition. Add flour and stir briefly until smooth. Stir in nuts and scrape batter into prepared pan.


Prepare top layer by me;ting chocolate and butter together in a double boiler. Off the heat, whisk the sugar whipping cream, salt, espresso, and vanilla. Add the egg and egg yolks one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir until smooth.

Pour top layer over bottom layer and spread evenly.

Bake in a 325 preheated oven 25-30 minutes until the edges are just starting to pull away from the pan. When inserting a toothpick in the center....it should not come out clean...rather a little moist batter attached to it. Cook on a wire rack and refrigerate 1 hour before serving.

If desired...cut into rounds and place a chocolate espresso bean on top and serve with ice cream.
