Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy—about 3-4 minutes.
