Tips for Success:

• Coffee Boost: The brewed coffee enhances the chocolate flavor without making the cake taste like coffee. If you’re not a fan of coffee, you can substitute with hot water, but the coffee really takes it to the next level.
• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days . Warm slices in the microwave for a fresh-from-the-oven experience.
• Add Toppings: Drizzle with chocolate ganache, sprinkle with powdered sugar, or add chopped nuts for extra flair.
