  • Use Quality Chocolate: The chocolate you use in this dessert is crucial. Use a good-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Chill the Cake Layers: Before assembling the cake, chill the cake layers for at least 30 minutes. This will make them easier to handle and prevent them from crumbling.
  • Use a Serrated Knife: When cutting the cake, use a serrated knife to get clean, even slices.
  • Serve Immediately: This dessert is best served immediately after it's made. However, you can refrigerate it for up to 3 days.
