Let’s look at the main ingredients
For Chocolate Cake
Wholewheat flour – Adds fibre and a slightly nutty flavour. It makes the cake more filling and gives structure while keeping it soft.
Cocoa powder – Rich in antioxidants and responsible for the deep chocolate flavour in the sponge.
Jaggery (powdered)– A more natural sweetener compared to refined sugar. It adds a caramel-like depth and keeps the cake moist.
Baking powder & baking soda – Help the cake rise and stay fluffy even without eggs.
Oil – Keeps the cake soft and moist for days.
Milk (or plant-based milk) – Adds moisture and binds the ingredients together.
Vanilla extract – Enhances the chocolate flavour and adds warmth.
For Chocolate Ganache
Dark Chocolate callets (Van Houten Professional) – High-quality chocolate ensures a smooth, rich ganache with intense flavour.
Whipping cream or Coconut Cream – Adds richness and creates that thick, spreadable consistency for the thick fudgy ganache.
Milk (or plant-based milk) – Creates a thinner, lighter ganache that is perfect for pouring and helps keep the dessert balanced.
