Cooking Tips

• Make sure to grease the cake pan well to prevent the cake from sticking.
• For an extra gooey center, slightly underbake the cake by reducing the baking time by a few minutes.
• You can also add a tablespoon of liqueur, such as rum or coffee liqueur, to the melted chocolate mixture for added flavor.
• Serve the cake warm for the best oozing chocolate experience.

Storage and Serving

• To store the cake, let it cool completely and then cover it tightly with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container.
• Reheat individual slices in the microwave for a few seconds to enjoy the warm, oozing chocolate center again.
• Serve the cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra indulgence.
