First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease the pan. (I use the wrappers that were around the butter before melting, but you can use whatever method you choose.)
Next, blend the 1 cup Butter, 2 ¼ cup Granulated Sugar, and vanilla until combined.
1 cup Butter, 2 ¼ cup Granulated Sugar, 3 tsp. Vanilla
Then add all of the eggs to the same bowl and beat the mixture well.
4 Eggs
Pour in all the rest of the ingredients, and mix well. Your batter should be somewhat thick and have no flour pockets.
1 ⅛ cup All-Purpose Flour, ¾ cup Cocoa Powder, ¾ tsp. Baking Powder, ¾ tsp. Salt
Use the spatula to pour the batter into the greased pan and smooth it out evenly.
Place in the preheated oven, and bake for 25-35 minutes.
Remove from the oven, and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
