Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Cake:
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
- Don't overmix the batter; overmixing can result in a tough cake.
- For a moister cake, add a tablespoon or two of milk if necessary.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting (if desired) to prevent the frosting from melting.
