1/3 cup cocoa powder
3 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 milk, at room temperature

Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 180 degree celcius. Butter or spray a lamington tray/ cake pan with cooking spray. Then line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.

- Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla essence and beat until combined.
- Then reduce the mixer speed to low, alternately add the flour mixture (in three additions) and milk (in two additions), beginning and ending with the flour.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.
- Bake it in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
