Recipe for Cake

In a large bowl mix all the dry ingredients – All purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt , coco powder and icing sugar. Mix well with a spatula.

Now, add buttermilk, oil and one table spoon of hot water to the flour mixture and mix it till all the ingredients are combined and smooth. Don’t over mix the batter.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees- Prepare your baking pan. I have used a 6 inch pan greased with butter and place the parchment paper. Empty the cake batter to the pan and place it in the oven for about 20 – 25 minutes.

Let your cake base cool down completely. In a bowl add warm heavy cream , chocolate and mix to make a smooth ganache. Keep it a side.

Now comes the frosting. In a large bowl add some ice cubes tier it with an empty bowl and add 120 grams cream. Whip it till it forms soft peaks. Then slowly add ganache from the previous step and fold it to the cream to form chocolate whip.

Take your cake base, slice it horizontally and lightly coat with sugar syrup. Now, spread the chocolate frosting in between slices and all over the cake. Pour the leftover chocolate ganache on top of the cake. Let it rest in the fridge for an hour or so before you serve.
