Instructions

1

Prepare the dry ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Mix the wet ingredients

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Pro tip: Ensure all wet ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter.

3

Combine the mixtures

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
