Eggless Chocolate Ganache Cake

       This is my most favourite cake. The taste is just to die for.. and what can be best than to make the cake at home, eggless with all the best ingredients...

Ingredients:

All purpose flour - 1 1/4 cup

Sugar (powdered) - 3/4 cup

Choco powder - 1/2 cup

Curd - 1/2 cup

Oil - 1/4 cup

Milk - 1/4 cup

Baking powder - 1 tsp

Baking soda - 1/2 tsp

For the Ganache:

Dark cooking chocolate - 300 gms

Fresh cream - 200 gms

Butter - 1 tsp

Sugar powder - 1/2 cup

Method:

Mix curd and oil and whisk well. Now add all purpose flour, sugar, choco powder, baking powder, baking soda and milk and mix well.

Grease a cake tin with butter and add the batter to it. Bake it in a pre heated oven at 180°c for 20- 25 mins approx. Check whether it's done using a toothpick.

Allow the cake to cool down. Once it's completely cool slice the cake into two halves.

Meanwhile chop the chocolate into small pieces. Melt it using the double boiler method. Once the chocolate melts add cream to it.

Mix well. Also add butter and sugar powder and mix well. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

Once done pour it on the bottom slice of cake. Place the other piece on top of it . Cover the entire cake with ganache. 

Keep the cake and the left over ganache in the refrigerator for 30 mins. The ganache thickens and can be piped easily now.

Remove from refrigerator and smoothen the edges of the cake.

Pipe the left over ganache and design the cake.

Once all the decorating is done place it in refrigerator for another 30 mins before serving.

Enjoy with your family.

Note: If you use milk chocolate, you can skip sugar powder for the ganache....

Enjoy Cooking!!!!
