2. Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in the vanilla.
4. Add the flour mixture alternately with the milk; beat well. Fill the muffin cups 3/4 full.
