  • 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sugar until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat together eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined—avoid over-mixing.
