Pro Tips for the Best Cake

🔹 For extra fudginess – Underbake slightly (toothpick with a few crumbs).
🔹 Make ahead – Cake stays moist for 3 days (store covered).

☕ Mocha twist – Add 1 tsp espresso powder to the batter.
🍒 Black Forest style – Add cherry pie filling between layers.
🌰 Nutty crunch – Fold in chopped walnuts or pecans.
