- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease the 9x13 inch cake pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.

- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing thoroughly until you have a smooth batter.
