Step by Step Instructions
Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or bundt pan.
Step 2:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Step 4:
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Step 5:
Stir in the vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Step 6:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix just until smooth—don’t overbeat.
Step 7:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
Step 8:
Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9:
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10:
Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate glaze if desired before serving.
