  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking.

    Prepare the Baking Pan

    Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.

Baking

    Pour Batter into Pan

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

    Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cooling and Serving

  1. 9

    Cool the Baked Good

    Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
