Since the height of the rectangle is 5 centimeters, and the rectangle is twice as long as it is tall, the length of the rectangle would be 2 * 5 = <<2*5=10>>10 centimeters.
To find the area of a rectangle, we multiply the length by the height.
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 10 * 5 = <<10*5=50>>50 square centimeters. Answer: \boxed{50}.
