For best results, allow the cake to sit, uncovered, for a few hours after cooling. Then, cover it tightly to prevent it from drying out, as gluten-free cakes tend to do. The flavor and texture of this cake improve significantly after a day or two. Store it in an airtight container at room temperature. Feel free to experiment with different types of cocoa powder to adjust the intensity of the chocolate flavor. A dollop of dairy-free whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar makes a lovely finishing touch.
