[email protected]The frosting was a bit too thick for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using a less thick frosting or adding a bit of milk to the frosting.

[email protected]I had some trouble getting the cake layers to bake evenly. The top layer was a bit overdone, while the bottom layer was still a bit underdone. I think I'll try baking the layers separately next time.

[email protected]This cake is a bit too rich for my taste, but it's still very good. The chocolate flavor is very intense, so I would recommend using a semisweet chocolate instead of a bittersweet chocolate.
