Instructions

- Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
After your cake has cooled, frost it with your favorite icing or ganache. Enjoy it plain or with a rich topping—this easy chocolate cake recipe is sure to please everyone.
