Tips to Make Triple Chocolate Cake

  • Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature for the best results.
  • Don’t skip the boiling water! It helps the cocoa dissolve and makes the cake super moist.

Variation

You can add nuts like walnuts or pecans for a nice crunch. You can also replace half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a slightly healthier option.
