Once melted, transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl.

Add in the sugar and beat until combined. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
