Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best results. This means using real butter, good-quality chocolate, and fresh eggs.
  • Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients to mix together more easily and will result in a smoother cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can make the cake dry.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
