Keywords: Use high-quality chocolate to enhance the flavor; avoid overly sweet types. Adjust sugar to 75g for a less sweet cake if desired. For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with a gluten-free mix but monitor the texture. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or fresh berries for added contrast in temperature and flavor.
