- In a medium sized bowl, sift the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together until thoroughly combined.
- Add the cooled butter/chocolate to the stand mixer and whisk until smooth, about 30 seconds. - Slowly add in the flour mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time with the stand mixer on low. - As soon as you are done adding the flour turn the mixer off.
