1 lb. bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped 1 c. (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into Tbsp. 1/3 c. strong coffee 4 large eggs (at room temperature) 1 1/2 c. granulated sugar 1/2 c. all-purpose flour 2 c. walnuts, coarsely chopped Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat 375 degrees. Line a 9 x 13 baking pan with aluminum foil so that the foil extends 2-inches beyond the two long sides of the pan. Butter the bottom and sides. In the top of a double boiler over hot, not simmering, water, melt the chocolate and butter with the coffee. Stir until smooth. Remove from water and cool the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until tepid. In a large bowl, beat the eggs for 30 seconds at high speed or until foamy. Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat for 2 minutes or until the mixture is light. Reduce the mixer speed and add the chocolate mixture until well blended. Stir in the flour with a wooden spoon and then use the same spoon to stir in the walnuts. Do not overbeat. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake 28 to 30 minutes or until Foggies are just set around the edges. They will be moist in the center. Cool the Foggies in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours. Remove the foil and run a knife around the edges of the Foggies. Using the two ends of the foil as handles, lift the Foggies out of the pan and invert them onto a large plate. Carefully peel off the foil and then invert them again onto a smooth surface and cut into 16 triangles. Note: This is the first cake to fly in space and the only one we use. This is from Marcia Ivins, an astronaut who loves to bake and is great at it.
