3 tablespoons butter, softened
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
Instructions

3. Stir in sugar, eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
4. Beat in 1/3 cup cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder.
5. Spread batter into prepared pan.
6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until edges pull away from the sides.

Notes
Do not overbake to keep the center fudgy.
Use a light-colored metal pan for even heat distribution.
Wait 10 minutes before frosting so it doesn’t melt off.
