Instructions:
-
Activate the Yeast: Begin by dissolving the yeast in 1 tablespoon of milk and let it stand for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
-
Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, sift together 1/2 cup of flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, and the salt. Add the remaining milk to the mixture along with the activated yeast. Stir well to combine.
-
Allow to Rise: Cover the dough with a damp cloth and set it aside in a warm place for about 45 minutes, allowing it to rise.
-
Cream the Butter Mixture: In another bowl, cream together the butter, vanilla extract, and the remaining sugar until smooth.
-
Incorporate Ingredients: Add the creamed butter mixture to the risen dough. Blend in the egg until well combined.
-
Finish the Dough: Sift in the remaining flour gradually, mixing until the dough is smooth and pliable. Add more flour if necessary to achieve the desired consistency.
-
Prepare the Chocolate Coating: Melt the bittersweet chocolate in the top of a double boiler, then stir in the strong black coffee until well combined.
-
Coat the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, spread out the dough and evenly coat it with the chocolate mixture. Roll the dough tightly into a multi-layered roll.

Let it Rise Again: Place the rolled dough into a well-greased baking pan. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place until its volume doubles.

Preheat and Bake: Preheat your oven to 365°F (185°C). Brush the top of the risen dough with melted butter. Bake the chocolate cake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
