Ingredients

Butter1/2 cup, softened
Salta pinch
Eggs4
Sugar1 cup
Baking Powder2 tsp
Vanilla Extract1 tsp
Cream Cheese1 cup, chopped
Buttermilk2 cups
Cocoa Powder1/2 cup

Instructions

1
Heat the oven to 180 C / 350 F and line the tin; a properly prepared pan is half the battle.
2
Beat the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy, then add the eggs one at a time.
3
Fold the flour and buttermilk through in two additions; overmixing makes a dense crumb.
4
Bake until the top springs back when pressed, 28-38 minutes depending on your tin.
5
Once cool, slice and serve, or ice it generously and let the frosting set.

Chef's tip

Chill the dough when the recipe says so; warm dough spreads into flat, greasy cookies.
