Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
