Notes

For a deeper flavor, consider using premium-quality chocolate wafers.
Chill the cake overnight for the best flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days, or freeze individual slices wrapped in plastic for up to a month.
If you live in a humid climate, using a silica gel pack in the storage container can help maintain texture. Enjoy baking!
