Chocolate Truffle Cake is one of the most sinful , delicious , moist cake one can ever have . The cake is dense and a chocolate lovers delight .
For me this cake needs no occasion , give it to me any time of the day , month , year , I would be happy to gobble it down . A freshly frosted cake is my weakness , but even if it is chilled and hard , I don’t mind . I microwave it for a few seconds ! It becomes nice and gooey ! A truffle cake is heavenly and my favourite dessert .
This Truffle Cake was made by Juhi , she picked the recipe from Gayathri’s blog . This is one of the best cake recipe one can ever make , and almost everyone in my family is hooked on to it . Thanks Gayathri ! Needless to say the cake was a complete treat and while I am writing this post I am craving to eat some chocolate cake .
The cake has been frosted with Chocolate Ganache , which is silky and smooth . We did not cut the cake to add more layers of ganache , even though we love it . Just to avoid the extra calories .
Juhi is at present studying in London and how I miss that girl . We both are fond of cakes and now that she is not here , I don’t feel like baking just for myself ! Well go on , bake this cake and if you want to fill it with layers of ganache , please do ! it only gets more sinful . Go ahead you will love it .
The Chocolate Truffle Cake is my Day 7 post for Bakeathon . This week you shall see my bakes with chocolate .
Chocolate Truffle Cake
Ingredients
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
4 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup curd
1/4 cup unsweetened coffee
1tsp vanilla essence
Frosting
Chocolate Ganache
Method
Preheat the oven to 175 deg C.
Grease and line a cake tin .
Sift flour , sugar , cocoa , baking powder and baking soda .
Mix oil , milk , curd and vanilla .
Mix the dry ingredients with wet ingredients till well incorporated .
Heat 1:4 cup of water and add 1/2 tsp of coffee .
Add this coffee to the cake batter and mix well .
At this point you can divide the cake between two tins . ( optional , I didn’t do )
Bake for 30 -40 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean . ( this would depend on how thick your cake is .)
Invert the cake on a cooling rack and wait for it to come to room temperature .
You can now frost the cake .
Frosting
Spread the chocolate ganache on top and cover the sides too .
I made a simple pattern with a fork .
Chill and serve .
Notes
In case you want a filling in between the cake then you should make two cakes or cut it into two .
Spread a good layer of ganache on the first cake .
Sandwich the cake with the other cake and frost with ganache .

Vaishali I love this cake and can have it as a meal. You know I am going to love this week. Sad it has only 3 days the cake has turned out great and the design on top is cute with those lines.
Dark beauty is inviting me rite now.. Wish i get a huge slice of this chocolatey truffle cake, prefect cake to please my sweet tooth. And how moist the crumb looks.. Irresistible.
I may be a chocolate lover but somehow truffle cakes don’t appeal to me… for me it has to be fluffy and moist… hehe… but slowly now I seem to enjoy them, though I can’t have more than one small slice. That cake looks like a lovely treat if you have a small crowd to feed, and like you said, can have it with coffee over a few days too if you don’t want to share…
That chocolate cake looks so rich and chocolaty. Love the ganache topping – simple, elegant and inviting.
Anything with Chocolate is my weekness too!! This is my another favourite and with Ganache it’s so tempting.
Beautifully frosted cake Vaishali. I am really glad everyone liked it. This is my favourite recipe too. Look at that texture. I am reminded of Delhi now…
The cake looks fabulous and the frosting tempts me a lot.
Chocolate truffle is indeed a very decadent and sinful cake. You can’t leave it and then feel guilty about consuming so many calories. Though I don’t care about calories but my husband reminds me that I want to control my diet. ..he he.
OMG – this cake looks just fantastic and with that thick layer of ganache – just amazing!
That cake is looking fabulous, Vaishali. I love that patterned ganache frosting.
The cake with the ganache looks awesome! She has done a great job. It is hard when they move out to pursue their dreams, isn’t it?
I am like you , chocolate truffle cake or any chocolate frosted cake is my weakness. The cake looks so delicious and yum…Juhi did a good job and since she is near to me, I can go and have anytime
Sinfully delicious treat!! I am not a chocolate cake fan but for sure can gobble up a big slice of the cake while my kids finish the whole cake. It’s so tempting!!
Omg, who will say no to this delicious and sinful cake. Beautifully Presented.feel like grabbing the slice from the plate.
who would say no to such a decadent cake!! those simple fork patterns looks very pretty!
