Would love to try this for my husband’s birthday in July but he is an only-chocolate kind of guy. How would you adapt this recipe for a simple chocolate cake? Chocolate cake batter, I’m assuming, but what about the homemade frosting?

So many different ways! Go basic chocolate cake and ease up on the cocoa in the frosting so it’s pale chocolate to get that lighter on dark contrast with the layers. Or brush layers with Kahlua after you split them, then frost. Or frost with cream cheese frosting and cover the top with shaved chocolate. Or make a ganache and spread it on nice and sleek and cover the top with golden raspberries?
