  • 1 cup cocoa powder 
  • 2 and 1/4 tsp baking powder 
  • 1/2 tsp salt 
  • 1 tsp Balzac’s Espresso, finely ground 
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature 
  • 1 cup granulated sugar 
  • 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed 
  • 4 large eggs 
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract 
  • 1 cup sour cream (245 grams), at room temperature 
  • 1/4 cup oil
