Instructions
Align your 6-inch mold first with a butter paper and keep it aside.
Oil the mold and it is prepared for later use.
For the Cake:
Take a bowl and sift your dry ingredients in it
In a blender, crack 2 eggs along with 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, oil and vanilla essence.
Add 1/3 cup of room temperature milk and blend it all together for 2-3 minutes.
Combine your dry ingredients with wet ingredients and whisk them well until there are no lumps.
In a separate small bowl, bring cocoa powder together with 1/4 cup hot boiling water and mix until completely dissolved.
Add this coco powder slurry into cake batter and fold the batter until well combined.
Transfer cake batter into mold, tap it to remove air bubbles and bake in a preheated oven or pan for 30-40 minutes on medium-low flame.
I baked it in a pre-heated pan for this amount of time approx.
For oven, bake it at 180 degree in a pre-heated oven.
For Ganache:
Grate your 1/4 cup chocolate through a grater or chop with knife.
Add it to a small bowl, add 1/4 cup fresh cream, microwave for 30 seconds.
Mix it well until both are lumps free and well combined.
Add a little bit milk to get the right consistency.
For Cake Decor:
Add cold milk to soak and soften the cake.
Spread your ganache evenly and refrigerate for an hour or two before serving.
Serve it chilled with coffee or tea and enjoy your delicious and moist chocolate cake!
