Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking pan. As the oven heats up, in a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. I love using a whisk for this step because it ensures everything’s evenly mixed and helps to get rid of any lumps. Trust me, the closer to smooth you get those dry ingredients, the better your cake will be! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
