Beat the butter, eggs, sugar and cocoa powder together in a medium bowl with an electric mixer. Add the milk and vanilla extract and continue to mix until well blended.

In a separate bowl, combine both flours, the baking powder and salt.

Add the butter mixture to the flour mixture and blend well. Form the dough into a large ball and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
