Instructions

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sugar until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the sugar and mix until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes).

  5. Alternate adding the dry mixture and milk into the wet mixture until just combined; avoid overmixing.
