1/3 cup (40 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons aluminum-free, double-acting baking powder

Note: If you use a different gluten-free flour mix, alter the amount of or eliminate the xanthan gum, use dairy-free or egg-free substitutes, or change any other ingredients in this recipe, your results may not match my results.
