    I was skeptical about using sourdough in a chocolate cake, but this recipe is amazing! The cake is so moist and the sourdough adds a subtle tang that complements the chocolate perfectly.

    I added a pinch of espresso powder to the dry ingredients, as suggested, and it was a fantastic addition! I also made a chocolate ganache to top it off. Delicious!
