Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). The moment I hear that oven preheating, my excitement builds! In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, stirring until it’s all nicely blended. In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until you have a smooth mixture. It smells heavenly! Then pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. If you overmix, you might lose that light, fluffy texture we all adore. Don’t worry if there are a few lumps; it’s all part of the magic! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
