  4. Add flour, baking powder and cocoa into a large mixing bowl.
  5. In a separate bowl whisk eggs and milk.
  6. Soften the butter. I place it the microwave for a short burst if I haven't removed it from the fridge earlier in the day.
  7. In another bowl add butter, oil and sugars. Beat with electric beater until creamy.
  8. Add about a third of the flour mixture to this and stir gently in.
