Preparation
Step 1
For cake:
Start with the oven. Pre heat to 180C/350F.
Greece the cake pan and keep it ready
Step 2
Mix the cocoa powder with the coffee with the hot water
Next mix sugar, butter and eggs till sugar dissolves. Then add vanilla essence to it.
Step 3
Sift the bicarbonate soda and salt with the flour twice.
Now fold the sifted dry ingredients into the wet (eggs and cocoa powder mixture). Do not over mix.
Step 4
Put the batter in the loaf tin and bake at 180C till 15-20 minutes or till when knife inserted it comes out clean.
Step 5
For Chocolate Ganache:
Chop the chocolate bars into very small pieces. (This will help it to melt fast)
On a low heat, boil the milk and mix cocoa powder in it.
When milk comes to boil, add in the chopped chocolate and mix. Mix till it becomes smooth and no lumps are remains.
Make sure that all the ingredients are at room temperature.
For eggless version, omit eggs and use ¼ cup of yogurt/curd.
I used whole wheat flour; same recipe can be followed with all purpose flour as well.
Double the recipe if you want to make larger cake.
Mixture or only milk, white or dark chocolate can be use to make the sauce. Even chocolate chips can be used.
