I use a large whisk to lighten the flour in my flour canister, then scoop out the flour with a metal measuring cup and level off with the whisk.  This eliminates sifting, then measuring your flour, which is critical, despite what some say.  Flour packs down when left standing, and if you don't aerate it, you will get more flour per measure than intended and a dryer result.  This happy accident yields a crusty exterior, and a rich, pudding like interior.

Dry Ingredients:

1-1/2 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
½ cup plus 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ Tsp salt
1 Tsp baking powder
1 Tsp baking soda

Wet Ingredients:

10 Tbs unsalted butter
1-2/3 cup sugar
2 jumbo eggs, room temperature
1-1/2 tsp pure vanill extract
1-1/2 cups brewed coffee
