    • Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

    • Cream together sugar and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla. Add flour mixture in two batches, alternating with milk; beat well. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
