Tip #1

Coffee enhances and complements chocolate flavor, though your cake will still taste amazing without it.

Tip #2

Use unsweetened dark cocoa instead of regular to give this cake an intense chocolate kick, but regular unsweetened cocoa works too.

Tip #3

Start checking doneness at the beginning of the bake range for a perfectly baked cake.
