    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.

    In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder. Set aside.

    In another bowl, beat the unsalted butter until creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until light and fluffy.

    Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
