Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly butter or grease the bottom and sides of an 8-inch round baking pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together sour cream, oil, egg, and vanilla until well combined. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the sour cream mixture in. Stir until just mixed, with a few dry streaks remaining.
Pour in hot coffee or water and stir until smooth, using a whisk if necessary to combine.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the center is springy and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool in the pan until it's cool enough to touch, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately for the best results.
