Notes
If you don't think it's dark enough, add one or two teaspoons more cocoa powder.
This is the best chocolate cake recipe we've ever tried. If you are not going to add the ganache and strawberry layer in between, you may bake the dough in one round cake tin or a loaf tin instead of two tiny cake tins. If you want to make a one-layer chocolate cake, you may definitely drizzle the ganache over it.
