1-1/2 cups butter, softened
3-1/4 cups packed brown sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt and baking soda; add to the creamed mixture alternately with water, beating well after each addition.
