Notes
1. Choosing the Right Chocolate:
The quality of the chocolate bars you use can make a big difference in the flavor of the cake. Opt for high-quality chocolate bars that you enjoy eating on their own.
Whether you prefer dark, milk, or a mix of both, the richness and depth of the chocolate will shine through in every bite. 2. Room Temperature Ingredients:
To achieve the best texture, make sure all your ingredients, especially the butter and eggs, are at room temperature before you begin.
This ensures that the batter mixes evenly, resulting in a smoother, more consistent cake.
