By day two, the cake has settled into its fridge environment. The frosting firms up a little, but it’s still ridiculously good. Think of it as the cake version of leftover Chinese food—sometimes better than the original.
You’ll find yourself opening the fridge just to stare at it. It’s a ritual. You don’t eat it, you just confirm it’s there. That’s normal, right?
Pro tip: let it sit on the counter for ten minutes before eating. Cold chocolate is fine, but room-temp chocolate cake is a spiritual experience.
