Notes
- For an extra fudgy flavor, try adding a tablespoon of instant espresso powder to the dry ingredients.
- Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain its moisture.
- Serve each slice warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra heavenly experience.
- If you're in a hurry, gently warm individual slices in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds to bring out the rich chocolate flavor.
