Once the cakes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, remove the cakes from the pans and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Frost and Serve:

Once the cakes are completely cool, you can frost them with your choice of frosting. A cream cheese frosting or buttercream works wonderfully to balance out the rich, chocolatey flavor of the cake.

Optional Frosting (Cream Cheese Frosting):

Ingredients:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

3-4 cups powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

Beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fluffy and well-combined.
