• ½ cup (63 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• ¾ teaspoon baking powder
• ¾ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 large egg
• ½ cup (100 g) whole milk

Frosting:

• ½ cup sour cream
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

For the Cake:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with parchment paper and grease the sides and bottom. For a metal baking pan, preheat the oven to 325°F.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add the egg, milk, oil, and vanilla. Mix on low speed until incorporated, then increase the speed to medium and mix for an additional 2 minutes.
4. Gently stir in the warm water until the batter is smooth and thin.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a clean toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs, but no wet batter.
6. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Frosting:

1. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each heating, until fully melted.
2. Add the sour cream and vanilla to the melted chocolate chips and stir by hand until the frosting is well combined and fluffy.
3. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
