For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder. Ensure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh for the best rise. Do not over-bake the cake, as it will become dry. Check for doneness with a toothpick. Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
