Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup granulated sugar divided
- ½ cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder divided
- ⅓ cup sour cream at room temperature
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter melted, plus more, softened, for greasing
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 ¼ cups hot strong brewed coffee
- ¼ cup 2 ounces amaretto
- Vanilla ice cream and fresh berries for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 1 ½-quart baking dish with softened butter; place on a rimmed baking sheet. Set aside.
- Whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, ⅔ cup granulated sugar, and ¼ cup cocoa in a large bowl. Whisk in sour cream, melted butter, ⅓ cup water, and vanilla until batter is mostly combined. Fold in chocolate chips until evenly combined. Spread batter in baking dish; set aside.
- Whisk together brown sugar, remaining ⅓ cup granulated sugar, and remaining ¼ cup cocoa in a medium bowl until no lumps remain. Sprinkle brown sugar mixture evenly over batter. Pour coffee and amaretto evenly over top; do not stir.
- Bake in preheated oven until cake springs back when lightly pressed, top of cake is cracked, and sauce is bubbling around edges, 42 to 45 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Notes
The alcohol will cook off as the cake bakes. If you'd like an alcohol-free cake, omit the amaretto and increase the hot coffee to 1 ½ cups.
