I'm wondering if the toothpick/knife method to test doneness might not be right for this cake? Neither a toothpick or knife EVER did come out clean, and I ended up baking too long and burned the darn thing. Even so, with the burnt parts trimmed off and a chocolate ganache frosting, this was a VERY well received cake! Still moist, dense, and deeply chocolatey. (PS I had hot cocoa mix on hand-- not unsweetened cocoa-- so I increased the cocoa and decreased the sugar, each by 1/4 cup. It turned out great!)
