Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). I love the smell of the oven warming up; it’s like the promise of something delicious baking away. In a mixing bowl, I combine the granulated sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Whisking these together is crucial; it ensures that the cocoa and flour are fully incorporated and provides a nice even texture. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
