1 ¾ cups sifted cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups white sugar
½ cup butter
1 ¼ cups evaporated milk
2 eggs
2 ½ (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Sift together flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and sugar.
