Mom Tips

Use the butter for the dough at room temperature.

Using coffee in the cake will provide a darker cake, with a slightly stronger chocolate flavor. The cake will not have a strong coffee taste.

If you prefer, replace the coffee with 125 ml of espresso.

You can decorate the cake with dark or milk chocolate shavings.
