Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Place the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and let it melt in the oven. Once melted, remove and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, 4 tablespoons cocoa powder, flour, milk, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Spoon this batter over the melted butter in the baking dish, but refrain from stirring.
