3/4 c. unsifted flour
1 c. sugar
7 tbsp. cocoa
1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
2/3 c. butter, softened
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tbsp. corn syrup
Vanilla ice cream

Grease an 8 x 8 inch heat resistant, non-metallic baking dish. Sift flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and salt into large bowl or an electric mixer. Add butter, eggs, vanilla and corn syrup. Beat until smooth.

Pour batter into prepared dish. Cook in microwave, uncovered, on roast (70% power) for 8-9 minutes. Test for doneness with a toothpick; if not done return to microwave and cook 1 minute more. Allow to cool slightly and cut into squares for serving. Place a scoop of ice cream on each.
