3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk


Directions
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2) Line muffin pan with foil or paper liners
3) Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa, and salt. Set aside.
4) Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time beating well with each addition, then stir in vanilla. Add the flour mixture alternately with milk, beating well.
5) Fill the muffin cups 3/4 full
6) Bake for 15-17 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean
7) Frost with favorite icing
