    1/4 ts Kosher salt
    3/4 c Boiling water
    Ice cream; to serve

    PREPARE THE CAKE: Add the butter to a 1 1/2 to 2 quart
    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.
