- Flour: 1 1/3 cups
- Baking soda: 1/4 teaspoon
- Baking powder: 2 teaspoons
- Cocoa powder: 1/4 cup
- Salt: 1/8 teaspoon
- Butter, softened: 7-8 tablespoons
- Sugar: 1 1/3 cups
- Eggs: 2
- Vanilla extract: 1/4 teaspoon
- Milk: 1 cup
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a muffin pan with paper or foil liners. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture alternately with the milk; beat well. Fill the muffin cups 3/4 full.
- Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Frost with your favorite frosting when cool.
