Preheat the oven to 165°C and line muffin trays with papers.

Combine the flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl and set aside.

Then cream the butter, vanilla and brown sugar until pale and fluffy.

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until well incorporated. Remember to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Add the flour mixture and cocoa powder in three batches, alternating it with two additions of buttermilk and milk. Beat until well combined.

Put the batter into the lined muffin tray cups, filling each to about half.
