Serves 8

Ingredients

1-1⁄2 cups (7-1⁄2 ounces) all-purpose flour
1 cup (7 ounces) sugar
1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 cup (1-1⁄2 ounces) Dutch-processed cocoa
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine
1 cup brewed coffee, hot
2⁄3 cup mayonnaise
1 large egg, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Confectioners’ sugar (optional)

  1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 8-inch square baking pan, line with parchment paper, grease parchment, and flour pan.
  2. Whisk flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt together in large bowl. In separate bowl, combine cocoa and chocolate. Pour hot coffee over cocoa mixture and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Gently whisk mixture until smooth, let cool slightly, then whisk in mayonnaise, egg, and vanilla. Stir mayonnaise mixture into flour mixture until combined.
