½ cup dutch-process cocoa powder
¾ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the filling

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
Chef's tip
Follow the package's conversion to powdered sugar. In frosting or glaze, add liquid gradually - replacements can absorb it differently.
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp heavy cream
1 pinch salt

Instructions

1
Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl until evenly combined and no streaks of cocoa remain. Set aside.
2
Beat the softened butter and granulated sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or with a hand mixer) on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl once.
