Recipe type: Dessert

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 5-cup ring mold pan or a tube pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Make the cake: In a food processor combine the chocolate chips and sugar, then process until finely chopped. Add the boiling water and process until melted and smooth. Add margarine in three additions, pulsing briefly after each addition. Add eggs, liqueur, vanilla, and salt. Process until well blended.
- Pour mixture into prepared ring mold. Place the mold in a larger pan and fill pan with 2-inches of boiling water. Bake for 1 hour, or until firm to the touch, a knife inserted in the center should come out with moist crumbs. Remove mold from water bath and cool for 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours.
