Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until creamy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time and mix well.
5. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and stir until smooth.
6. Pour the batter into a greased pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Note:

For extra flavor, top the cake with whipped cream or frosting.

The cake rises by ² inches while baking, so make sure your pan is tall enough.
