Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and 1 1/2 cups of butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour and cocoa powder, stir into the creamed mixture until just blended. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.

Step 3

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
