Notes

Always use hot water to bloom the cocoa for maximum flavor. Experiment with ingredient swaps, like using coconut oil or applesauce in place of vegetable oil. For a twist, consider adding peanut butter, orange zest, or mint extract. Store leftovers at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. The cake also freezes well.
