Notes

To keep your Soft Chocolate Cake fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
If frosted, place a piece of parchment paper between layers to avoid smudging.
For longer storage, wrap slices in plastic wrap and freeze for up to two months.
For a professional finish, chill the frosted cake in the fridge before serving to help set the frosting.
Feel free to customize with frosting, fruit, or chocolate shavings for decoration!
