Nigella Lawson's Dense Chocolate Loaf Cake (with "Alexandra's Kitchen" tweaks)

Reducing the brown sugar from 1 ⅔ cups to 1 ½ cups. I find dark or light works just fine.

Replacing the water with coffee and booze. I use my Nespresso machine to make espresso, which I add water to to make 1 cup. If you don’t feel like adding booze or coffee, simply use 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons boiling water instead.

Upped the vanilla.

Added salt.
