Sieve the flour and cocoa and keep aside .

Cream sugar and curd till sugar has completely dissolved .

Add baking powder and baking soda and mix well.

Keep aside for 5 minutes till bubbles are formed .

Add cooking oil and vanilla essence and mix well .

Gradually add the flour and cocoa mix and blend with wet ingredients .

Beat well till creamy and thick .

Preheat oven to 200 deg C for 10 minutes .

Meanwhile grease a baking tin , line it with a parchment and pour the prepared batter .

Bake for 10 minutes and then reduce the temperature to 180 deg C.

Now bake for 30 - 35 minutes or till a skewer comes out clean .

Let the cake cool for frosting .

Do not forget to remove the lined parchment paper .

Ideally you should place the cake on a wire rack over a rimmed platter and pour your ganache evenly over the top of your cake until desired coverage is reached, but I just placed it on my platter and poured the ganache .

I added some tinned peaches and some fresh cream to the cake and it made a perfect dessert .
