| 1/4 cup(s) | strong coffee |
| 1 tbsp | baking soda |
| 1/4 cup(s) | white corn syrup |

Make a sponge cake using coffee as the liquid - 6 egg one from Joy of
Cooking. Cut into 4 layers.
Mix the sugar, coffee and syrup thoroughly
in a deep sauce pan. Bring to boil and don't stir until 310 degrees -
hard crack - small amount in ice water breaks at snap. Be careful, can
burn easily. Remove from heat and add soda. Will foam, so work quickly.
Stir hard with wooden spoon until mixture thickens and pulls away from
side of pan. Pour immediately onto cookie sheet. Do not try to stir
further or spread out in pan. Doesn't matter if a bit of soda doesn't go
in. Cool throroughly. Remove from cookie sheet 9twist a bit to loosen).
Crush between sheets of wax paper or in heavy plastic bag until crumbs.
May store this ahead of time.
Whip the cream and sweeten - use half
between layers. Us e other half to frost top and sides. Cover top and
sides generouly with crunch, pressed into cream. Refrigerate for 2
