For an even richer flavor, consider using Dutch-processed cocoa powder. Don't be tempted to grease the pan; the cake's texture benefits from baking in an ungreased pan. Feel free to experiment with different extracts, such as almond or peppermint, for a unique twist. This cake is incredibly moist and can be stored at room temperature, covered, for up to 3 days. For a vegan frosting option, try a simple powdered sugar glaze made with plant-based milk and a touch of vanilla.
