Tips & Substitutions
For a richer chocolate flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of espresso powder to the batter. If you're out of mayonnaise, Greek yogurt can serve as a great substitute, providing moisture without altering the taste. Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing, and don't overmix the batter to keep the cake tender.
Serving Suggestions
This cake is delicious on its own, but you can elevate it with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of chocolate ganache. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. For a delightful contrast, serve it alongside a refreshing Grapefruit Salad.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, wrap the cooled cake tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. It can be kept at room temperature for up to three days or in the refrigerator for about a week. If you want to enjoy it later, you can freeze the cake for up to three months, just be sure to wrap it well.
