1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup hot water

Instructions:
 Prep Oven and Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
 Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
 Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Incorporate eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.
