Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk (and coffee, if using), beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.

Baking

Pour the batter into your prepared pans and smooth the tops with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Frosting and Serving

Once the cakes are completely cool, frost them with your favorite chocolate buttercream or ganache. Slice and serve, enjoying every decadent bite.

Tips for Perfecting Your Chocolate Cake

Measure accurately	Incorrect measurements can lead to a dense, dry, or underbaked cake.
Don't overmix	Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
Use room temperature ingredients	Room temperature ingredients incorporate more easily and evenly.
Test for doneness	A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
