A few key elements help achieve that iconic ultra-moist texture:
The Perfect Fat-to-Flour Balance
Getting this ratio right is crucial. Too much flour leads to dryness, while too much fat can make the cake dense without structure. This recipe uses just the right balance to create a velvety crumb.
Quality Cocoa Powder
Good-quality unsweetened cocoa powder brings depth, aroma, and a luxurious chocolate flavor that makes this cake unforgettable.
Gentle Mixing
Overmixing can toughen the batter. This recipe relies on slow, steady mixing to trap enough air without overworking the gluten.
