This cake can be stored in an airtight container for 2 or 3 days. Refrigeration makes it a little dry.
Couverture or compound chocolate both work fine but couverture lends a better flavour.
Make sure your pan is atleast 2.5 inches high.
This cake might be too sweet for some people , especially depending on what chocolate you use and if you are frosting it. Consider reducing the sugar by 1/4 cup or so if you don't want it too sweet.
