Directions

  1. Preheat your kitchen oven to 350 degrees
  2. Pull out a medium sized bowl and mix your flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt ingredients.
  3. Beat up butter and sugar in a large bowl for 5 minutes. The mixture should become light and fluffy. Next, beat in your eggs one by one, with sour cream, milk and food colouring and vanilla following.
