For an even richer flavor, try using dark chocolate cocoa powder. The boiling water is key to activating the cocoa and creating a moist cake, so don't skip this step! Feel free to experiment with different extracts in the batter. Almond or peppermint would be delicious! This cake is best enjoyed within 2-3 days of baking. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
