For the best flavor, use a high-quality bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of 60-70%. Do not overbake the cake; it should be slightly soft in the center when removed from the oven. Cooling the cake completely before removing it from the pan is crucial for preventing it from breaking. A dusting of cocoa powder or a scoop of vanilla ice cream also pairs wonderfully with this cake.

Jun 16, 2025I used a slightly higher percentage of cacao in my chocolate and it was amazing. I also added a pinch of sea salt to the batter to enhance the flavor.
