Notes
¹If you bake this in an aluminum baking dish it might cause the cake to have a metallic taste. If you only have this type of dish, you can line the pan with parchment paper to prevent this.
This cake may instead be baked in a 9x9 or 11x7 baking dish, but keep an eye on it as the baking time will be reduced.
You can make this a vanilla cake by leaving out the cocoa powder.
STORING:Store covered at room temperature for up to 5 days. Cake will keep even longer if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator by the fridge may dry out the cake a bit.
