Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
