DEVIL'S CHOCOLATE CAKE IN A KADHAI
 
 
Ingredients
  • ½ cup curd
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 6 tbsp oil
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 tbsp cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tbsp instant coffee powder
  • FOR THE GANACHE
  • ¾ cup fresh cream
  • ½ cup dark chocolate
Instructions
  1. Add the curd and baking soda to a bowl. Mix well and keep it aside for 2 minutes until it turns frothy.
  2. To this mixture, add the sugar, oil, milk and mix till everything is well combined.
  3. At this point, add all the remaining dry ingredients like flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and coffee.
  4. Whisk to achieve a smooth, lump-free batter. Do not overmix at this stage.
  5. Set a heavy-bottomed kadhai on heat. Add salt to the base and place a metal stand over it. Cover with a lid and let it preheat for 5-10 minutes.
  6. Line and grease a 7-inch glass mould. Transfer the cake batter into the mould and place it inside the preheated kadhai with the lid on.
  7. Cook on low to medium flame for 35-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
  8. Once cooked, remove the cake from the kadhai and let it cool completely.
  9. For the ganache, heat the fresh cream in a microwave for 30-40 seconds. Pour it over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Mix well with a spoon till the chocolate is melted and well incorporated with the cream.
  10. Let the ganache cool slightly and pour it over onto the cooled cake in a thick layer.
