  • 40 g White Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Egg

  1. Preheat oven to 175ºC (350ºF). Grease an 8-inch square cake pan.
  2. Combine wet mix. Cream butter and sugar. Add egg yolk, and vanilla, and whip until combined. Add buttermilk, and continue whipping until combined.
  3. Combine dry mix. Sift flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, and whisk to combine.
  4. Mix batter. Stir dry mix into wet mix until just combined. Transfer batter to cake pan.

The batter looks uneven; that's okay.
