How to make

STEP 1

Heat oven to 350°F. Brush 8-inch square baking dish with melted butter; set aside.
STEP 2

Combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, espresso powder and salt in large bowl; whisk until well combined.
STEP 3

Combine sour cream, 1/2 cup melted butter and egg in small bowl; whisk until smooth. Stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until well combined. Spread batter evenly into prepared baking dish. Pour boiling water evenly over batter. Do not stir.
STEP 4

Bake 25-30 minutes or until top looks set and craggy and liquid is absorbed. Let stand 10 minutes. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Serve warm with ice cream.

Tip #1

Regular cocoa powder can be substituted for the Dutch-process cocoa. The cake will be lighter in color and have a milder flavor.
