Preparation Steps:

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Step 7: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8: Once the cakes are completely cooled, frost them with your choice of chocolate ganache, buttercream, or cream cheese frosting.

Step 9: Slice and serve the Classic Chocolate Cake, and enjoy the decadent and timeless taste of chocolate perfection.
