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 (batter will be very thick). Pour boiling water evenly over batter. Do not stir.

Bake 23-28 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.

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