Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling for ingredients while you're in the middle of baking.
- Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the taste of your cake. Use the best quality chocolate, butter, and flour that you can find.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Don't Overbake the Cake: Overbaking the cake will make it dry and crumbly. Bake the cake just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the Cake Cool Completely Before Frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting or sliding off the cake.
