4 oz bittersweet chocolate
1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
1/2 cup cream cheese (room temperature)
1 2/3 cups brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
dash ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup dark hot chocolate
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a large bundt pan (the Pam with flour works great). Brew cup of dark hot chocolate (keep warm).
Melt chocolate over a pot of gently simmering water, stirring constantly. Set aside to cool. Cream butter, cream cheese and sugar with electric beater until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, stir in vanilla. Stir in chocolate and blend well.
In a separate bowl, sift flour with baking soda, spices and salt. Add flour to chocolate mixture alternately with hot chocolate, mixing gently after each addition and starting and ending with the flour mix. The batter will be VERY wet. Scrape batter into bundt pan and bake for 45 to 60 minutes (until a skewer comes out clean). Let cool completely before removing from pan.
