- Transfer the cake batter to the prepared pan and bake for approximately 40-45 minutes.

- Remove the cake from the oven, let it cool slightly, then remove from the pan and let it cool completely.
Assembling the Cake:

Ganache
- Heat the heavy cream in the microwave or on the stove.
- Add chocolate (chopped) and mix until smooth.
- Pour the chocolate ganache over the cake
- Decorate as desired and serve.
Notes
- For optimal results, I recommend greasing the pan with butter before baking. In addition, to ensure a visually appealing finish without a white shadow around the cake, take a small bowl and create a mixture of flour with a touch of cocoa. Use this mixture to flour the pan before pouring in the batter. This simple step will enhance the overall appearance of your cake when you remove it from the pan after baking. Enjoy your beautifully presented chocolate spice cake!
- Yogurt or Milk: You can use yogurt or buttermilk (120ml milk + 30ml lemon juice). If using buttermilk, let it rest for 10 minutes to thicken the milk.
