Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (preferred) or oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cocoa, granulated sugar and butter (or oil) on medium speed. Reduce the speed to low and add 1 egg at a time until combined.
  • Mix in the remaining ingredients in the order listed, for the exception of the powdered sugar. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
