  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, whisk the coco powder into the hot water and then add the heavy cream.
  4. With the mixer on low, add half the dry mixture, followed by half the coco mixture.  Repeat and beat 30 seconds longer on low speed.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared bakers and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean after being inserted into the center of the cake.
  6. Allow to cool completely in the pan before flipping out onto a wire rack.
