Instructions
- Pre heat the oven at 180 degree C and line or grease a 8″ inch baking pan and keep aside.
- Sift flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and salt twice and keep aside.
- Mix instant coffee in water and keep aside.
- Beat powdered sugar and oil till creamy. Add lemon juice, thick curd and vanilla extract and whisk again.
- Mix dry ingredients with the wet ingredients and fold to make a smooth batter by slowly adding coffee mix.
- Pour in the cake batter in the lined pan and bake for 30-35 mins or till the tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool down completely on a wire rack.
- Meanwhile in a small bowl mix 3 tbsp of icing sugar and keep aside.
- Slice off the cake from center in two halves and brush both halves with icing sugar water using a silicone brush. This keeps the cake moist from inside.
For Making Ganache :
- Take finely chopped chocolate pieces in a bowl and add 2 tbsp butter over it.
- Heat cream in a pan and as soon as you see bubbles appearing, pour it all over the chocolate chunks and let it rest for 5-6 mins.
- Blend well with a electric hand blender to make a smooth and silky mix.
- Refrigerate the ganache for 20-25 mins before use.
Garnish :
- Spread ganache generously all over the bottom half of the cake and place the next half on top.
- Take a spatula and spread ganache all over the cake covering the sides as well. If you find difficulty in spreading the ganache evenly on the cake, dip the spatula in hot water and then spread the ganache.
- Place ferrero rocher cake on the top of the cake at equal distance and place 5-6 strawberries in the center.
- Slice few strawberries and stick them between the chocolate balls.
- Refrigerate the cake for 2 hrs before use!
