Mississippi Mud Cake (Lillian Hellman)

Preheat oven to 275:. Melt chocolate in bourbon and coffee. Add sugar and salt. Combine flour, baking soda, and baking powder and gradually beat them into the chocolate mix. Do not overbeat. Lightly mix eggs and vanilla into the batter. Pour into a buttered and floured tube pan and bake for about 1 1/2 hours. The cake is done when a toothpick can be inserted without being coated with batter.
