Notes
- Store leftover cake tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Gently warm individual slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to enhance the moist, chocolatey experience.
- Serve this rich cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.
- For an even deeper chocolate flavor, try blooming the cocoa powder by whisking it into the hot milk before adding to the other ingredients.
