Scale
- 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole-wheat pastry flour
- 1 Tbsp. almond meal or flax meal
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

- 1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of an 8-inch spring form pan with parchment paper and generously grease the sides. (Or use a standard round cake pan, greased and floured.)
- Whisk flour, almond meal, granulated sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
- Add milk, brown sugar, egg, oil, vanilla and molasses. Beat well. Add hot coffee and beat to blend. (The batter will be quite thin.)
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake the cake until the top feels set when lightly taped, 40 to 45 minutes.
- Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes; remove from the pan, peel off the parchment paper and let cool completely. Dust the top with icing sugar before slicing.
