Notes
- Do not overbeat the mixture after the flour is added! If you develop the proteins on the flour, you're cake might fall after coming out of the oven
- Measure the flour properly, adding more flour than intended might cause the cake to fall! (See: measuring flour)
- Your main flavoring is going to be the cocoa powder, use a good one!
- Be a good boymoder and crack the eggs in a separate bowl so no shells get into your precious cake!
- Coffee enhances the flavor of chocolate, you can change a bit of the milk for milk with coffee :3
