Ingredients: 1 cup cake flour; ¾ cup sugar; ¼ cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder, plus; 2 tablespoons Dutch-processed cocoa powder; 2 teaspoons baking powder; ¼ teaspoon salt; ⅓ cup whole milk; 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted; 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract; 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder, dissolved in 1 teaspoon hot water; ½ cup coarsely chopped pecans; ½ cup firmly packed light brown sugar; 1 ½ cups boiling water

Servings: persons

1 cup cake flour
¾ cup sugar
¼ cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder, plus
2 tablespoons Dutch-processed cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup whole milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder, dissolved in 1 teaspoon hot water
½ cup coarsely chopped pecans
½ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 ½ cups boiling water

1
Position the oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat oven to 350; butter the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan.
2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cake flour, sugar, 2 tablespoons of the cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
3
In a smaller bowl, combine the milk, butter, vanilla, and espresso mixture; add, along with the pecans, to the dry ingredients and stir until blended.
4
Scrape the batter (it will be fairly thick) into the prepared pan; smooth the top.
5
Add brown sugar to a small bowl; using your fingers, break up any large clumps.
6
Add in the remaining 1/4 cup cocoa powder and stir to blend.
7
Sprinkle the mixture evenly on top of the batter.
8
Slowly pour the boiling water over the top (dont stir, just let it stand as is).
9
Bake the cake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is set.
10
Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for about 15 minutes.
11
Serve the cake warm, spooning it into bowls and drizzling a generous amount of the sauce over the cake (the water sinks to the bottom and mingles with the cocoa powder and brown sugar, forming a chocolate sauce).
