For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder. Don't overbake the cake, or it will become dry. Start checking for doneness at 30 minutes. Feel free to experiment with different frostings. Chocolate ganache, vanilla buttercream, or even a simple dusting of powdered sugar work well. This cake is also delicious served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
