2 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
1 cup unsweetened dutch cocoa
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350°; line 3 12-cup muffin tins with cupcake papers; set aside.

In a big bowl, cream the butter (on medium speed) until smooth; add in the sugars and beat 3 minutes until fluffy.
