For an even richer chocolate flavor, substitute strong brewed coffee for the warm water. Ensure all ingredients, especially eggs and sour cream, are at room temperature for optimal emulsification and a better cake texture. Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar, drizzle with chocolate ganache, or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh berries.
