Chocolate truffle cake

  

RECIPE

 CAKE

🎇 Prepare the wet ingredients and dry ingredients separately and then combine them

WET INGREDIENTS

Milk-1 cup
Oil-1/2 cup (I used sunflower oil..any other oil might give a weird flavor to the cake)
Vanilla essence-1/2 teaspoon
Vinegar-1 tablespoon(I didn't have vinegar so I added lemon juice instead)

DRY INGREDIENTS

All purpose flour (Maida)-1 and 1/2 cup

Powdered sugar-1 cup
Cocoa powder-2 tablespoons
Baking powder-1 teaspoon
Baking soda-1/2 teaspoon
Coffee powder-1/2 tablespoon

♡ Sieve before mixing to prevent lumps
 Mix the wet and dry ingredients until no lumps are present...don't beat the batter too much or the cake     will become hard
 The cake batter is now ready
 Grease your pan with butter and add a fine coating of maida before pouring the batter
 Preheat the Cooker  to around 10 to 15 mins on a medium flame
 Place the pan inside and bake for around 30 to 40 mins (I added the weight to the cooker..I guess its       fine if you don't)

CHOCOLATE GLAZE

🎇 Actually in a regular truffle cake they first make a ganache....cover the whole cake and then leave to set in the fridge for like an hour or more and only then pour the glaze..Buttttt I didn't have the patience and too much effort so I just used the glaze instead😁. The cake will nevertheless taste just as good.

Dark chocolate-100 g
Butter-50 g or so
Milk depending on the consistency you want

 Heat all the ingredients in the microwave, mix them and allow them to cool for a while
 Prepare a sugar syrup...which is basically a mix of equal quantity of sugar and water
 Slice the cake in half or three parts depending upon the height of your cake and soak the inside layers with a generous amount of sugar syrup and then add the glaze mixture to it
 Do the same for the top part of the cake...you can slice off the top part of the cake slightly if you want a flat top
 Finally pour the glaze over the cake and spread it evenly
 Set it to cool in the fridge before cutting

TOPPINGS

Just melt some white chocolate or milk chocolate or even dark chocolate according to your preference in the microwave and then either using a piping bag or a spoon just draw out the shape you want on a plate and put it in the fridge.It will set quite quickly(Around 2 to 3 minutes)

P.S. The cake you will get using these measurements will only be half the size of the one shown in the picture. If the want a bigger cake, you can increase the measurements.
