  • 3 eggs at room temperature
  • 2 c. flour
  • 3/4 cup cocoa
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cup milk

  • grease bottom of pan (I use 2 round pans or 1 9 by 13). preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Beat butter for 30 seconds or so. slowly add sugar.
  • Add eggs 1 at a time beating after each one. Beat in vanilla.
  • Add dry ingredients beating after each addition.
  • Add 1/2 of the milk, beat. Then add the other 1/2. Beat just until everything is combined nicely.
