I thought cammykitty would enjoy this, and Val agreed that I should post it.

6 ounces very good bittersweet chocolate (I use Scharffenberger, 70% cacao), chopped
1/4 cup strong brewed coffee

6 ounces unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup white sugar
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Wrap bottom of springform pan in foil. Spray inside of pan with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Place the chocolate and coffee together into a double boiler over hot water for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, let sit 5-10 minutes. Whisk until smooth. Add butter.

In large bowl, combine sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Beat. Pour chocolate mixture in while stirring constantly.

Pour batter into prepared springform pan. Bake 30-35 minutes.

Let cool before releasing from pan and serving.

I may tinker with the recipe a bit; it came out a bit cake-like, and I'd like it more like a fallen soufflé, I think.
