Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

- Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in the water until the batter is smooth. Do not overmix.
