1 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 cup sour cream

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar with an electric beater on medium speed.

Add the eggs and beat until fluffy. Continue beating and add the sour cream. Add the remaining ingredients; mix until well blended.
