Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
- Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you begin. This will help them to mix together smoothly.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to spread the frosting onto the cake.
- For a more festive presentation, decorate the cake with crushed peppermint candies or candy canes.
