1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, whip together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, and sour cream for about 3 to 4 minutes until light and fluffy. Stir in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla.
