Step-by-Step Instructions
First, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s warming up, grab a mixing bowl and combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. I love the rich chocolate aroma that fills my kitchen at this step; it always gets me excited for what’s to come! Once mixed, set this bowl aside to focus on the wet ingredients. In another bowl, cream your softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes, and trust me, you’ll love the sweet, buttery scent wafting through the air. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
