           - powder (24 g)
    1/4 ts Kosher salt
    3/4 c  Water; boiling
           Ice cream; to serve

  Prepare The Cake:

  Add the butter to a 1-1/2 to 2 qt microwave-safe souffle' dish or
  casserole, then melt the butter in short bursts in the microwave.

  Whisk in the milk, vanilla, and instant coffee, if using. Whisk in
  the brown sugar, then add the flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder,
  and baking soda and whisk until just combined.

  Make The Topping:

  In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, cocoa powder, and
  salt. Sprinkle over the cake batter.

  Pour the boiling water over the top.

  Cook in the microwave at full power until you can see the set cake
  start to emerge through the sauce in various spots and the sauce
  has thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. (It's OK to periodically stop and
  check doneness partway through cooking.) The cake will continue to
  set as it cools.

  Serve warm, with ice cream.
