More helpful tips for you.
- Brewed Coffee is used to enhance the chocolate flavor in this cake. The stronger the brew, the more flavorful the chocolate can be.
- Olive oil gives a great flavor as well as moisture this cake. While you could use a neutral oil, a neutral oil will not add the flavor and the same amount of moisture.
- When you combine together the wet and dry ingredients, gently fold the ingredients together. Avoid over-mixing the ingredients as doing so will affect the texture of your cake.
