- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

- Prepare Crinkle Topping: Once the cakes are completely cool, sprinkle the tops with powdered sugar to create the crinkle effect.
- Slice and Serve: Slice the crinkle cake and serve. Enjoy the moist and chocolatey goodness!
- Optional: Frosting (if desired): If you prefer, you can frost the cake with your favorite chocolate frosting for an extra layer of richness.
