For an even more intense chocolate flavor, substitute coffee for the water in the recipe. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a better batter consistency. If you don't have a Bundt pan, a 9x13 inch rectangular pan will also work; adjust baking time accordingly. Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
