Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar

  • 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • ¾ cup cocoa powder sifted
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.           
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine melted butter, with cocoa and stir until smooth.  Let cool.
