Notes

For a lighter flavor, substitute dark chocolate with semisweet chocolate. You can replace butter with margarine for a dairy-free option. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the chocolate flavor. Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
