- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and coat an 8×8 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
- Add eggs, oil, and vanilla, and mix until well combined.
