Instructions

Cake

Step 1

Preheat the oven @180 C/350-375 F, 10 mins before baking.

Step 2

Heat together milk, butter, oil & coco powder till the butter melts. Let it cool to room temperature (btw, dont get disappointed if you dont get the dark brown colour at this stage, you will get it once the cake is baked).

Step 3

Add flour, baking soda, sugar & beaten egg to the cooled wet ingredients. Beat it well using an electric beater or hand whisk till it is mixed well.

Step 4

You can either use it to make cupcakes or cake. I made a 9 inch loaf & 10 standard size cupcakes with the above qty.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 15- 20 mins for the cupcake & 25- 30 mins for the loaf cake. The baking time can vary depending on each oven.

Step 6

For cupcakes: Line your cupcake tin with paper liners (I use 2 liners per cupcake) & pour 3 tbsp of batter in each case. I'm referring to the standard size muffins here.

Step 7

For cake: Grease your cake tin well & line with parchment/baking paper. Pour the batter.

Ganache

Step 8

Place the baking chocolate/chocolate chips in a bowl.

Step 9

Heat the whipping cream on low flame till small bubbles start appearing around the edges.

Step 10

Pour the heated cream to the bowl with choc chips.

Step 11

Let it rest for 5 mins. Whisk it using a manual whisk. This will give you a liquid consistency ganache. If you want to thicken the ganache for spreading, place the bowl on some ice & whip it. It will start thickening. Spread the ganache on cooled cupcakes/cake.
