Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 12-cup fluted tube pan.
Melt the butter and chocolate together in a large metal bowl set over simmering water. Once melted, remove the bowl from the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Whisk in the sugar, eggs, instant coffee and vanilla. Add the flour, salt, and nuts and stir until the flour is incorporated.
Spoon the batter into the pan and bake for 50 minutes. (There is no test for doneness for this cake – you just have to trust it.)
Cool the pan on a rack for 1 hour; at that point the pan should be just barely warm.
Invert the cake onto a plate and refrigerate until cold. Dust with powdered sugar or with a simple glaze and serve.
