Sift the cocoa powder and flour together and beat quickly into the mixture until the mixture forms a ball - take care not to overbeat. Whisk the eggs together and carefully stir to the pastry until fully incorporated. Add the baking powder and mix well.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven for approx. 25 minutes. Once baked, slice the buns open and allow to cool.
