Step 1

1. In a small saucepan, melt 1 cup butter; stir in 1/2 cup cocoa until smooth. Remove from the heat. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla until blended. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to egg mixture. Beat in cocoa mixture.

2. Transfer to a greased 15x10" baking pan. Bake at 350F for 18-22 mins or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 3-4 mins on a wire rack.
