For an even richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate with a higher cocoa percentage.
A dusting of powdered sugar or a simple chocolate ganache makes an elegant finishing touch.
To prevent the cake from sticking, ensure the tube pan is thoroughly greased and floured, or use a baking spray with flour.
Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a tougher cake. Mix until just combined.
The cooling time is crucial for this cake to set properly and prevent it from crumbling when sliced.
