The combination of moist chocolate cake with a rich truffle filling creates a perfect balance of flavours and textures. So here's an easy Eggless Chocolate Truffle Cake recipe by Chef Ranveer Brar.
1. For the sponge, start by adding refined flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cocoa powder into a mixing bowl. Stir everything well to combine.
2. Add oil and vanilla essence to the dry ingredients, and mix thoroughly. Make sure the oil is evenly incorporated before adding the yoghurt to form a smooth batter.
3. Now, gently add the beaten curd and fold it into the batter using the cut and fold method. Then, add the Milkmaid and mix everything until smooth.
4. Grease your cake tin with butter and flour, then pour the prepared batter into it. Place the cake tin into a thick bottomed pan with a lid and bake the cake on low to medium heat for 35-40 minutes.
5. For the chocolate truffle, heat fresh cream in a shallow pan for 1-2 minutes. Add caramelised Milkmaid to the cream and mix well over medium heat.
6. Remove the pan from the flame, then stir in chopped chocolate until it melts and everything is well combined. Set the truffle aside to cool.
7. Once the sponge is baked and cooled, slice it into three equal layers. Apply a layer of caramelised Milkmaid and chocolate truffle on the bottom and middle layers using a palette knife.
8. Place the top layer of sponge on the cake and spread the remaining truffle evenly over the entire cake. Refrigerate it for a while to set.
9. After chilling, remove the cake from the fridge and pour the hot truffle over it, ensuring that all sides are nicely coated.
10. Garnish the cake with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, golden leaves, and a sprinkle of cocoa powder before serving.
