2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. cocoa (Nestle's Quik)
1 to 1 1/2 c. sugar (I use one)
1/2 c. plus 2 tbsp. butter
1/2 c. warm water
2/3 c. milk
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift together in bowl of electric mixer: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cocoa, and sugar. Add butter, eggs, and vanilla. Stir to moisten. Mix 3 minutes at #3 speed.

Pour mixture into 9 inch cake pan which has been greased and floured. Bake at 30-35 minutes until cake rebounds when pressed gently in center.
