- _ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- _ tsp baking soda
- _ tsp salt
- _ cup sugar
- _ cup vegetable oil
- _ cup yogurt (or buttermilk)
- _ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp vinegar
- 50 g Cadbury Silk chocolate, chopped into small pieces
For the Truffle Ganache:

- _ cup fresh cream (heavy cream)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 50 g Cadbury Silk chocolate (melted for extra smoothness)
For Decoration:

- Edible gold dust or berries
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan
Set the oven to 170¡C (340¡F) .Grease a 6 or 7 inch round cake pan with butter or oil and line the bottom of the cake pan with parchment paper. Do this step well to make sure the cake can be removed easily from the pan.
Step 2: Sift Dry Ingredients
Take a large bowl and in it, sift all the dry ingredients like flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt together. Sifting the ingredients ensures that there are no lumps in the cake batter.
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a different bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients like vegetable oil, yogurt, and vanilla extract. Sift in powdered sugar and mix the ingredients well until homogenous.
Step 4: Add Milk and Vinegar
Now, add _ cup milk and 1 teaspoon vinegar to the prepared mixture of wet ingredients and stir until well combined. Vinegar reacts with baking soda and helps the cake to bubble up. This helps in raising up the cake, weakening the gluten, and making the cake tender, soft, and spongy.
Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients Together
Slowly add the dry mixture into the wet mixture and gently fold with the help of a spatula or whisk until it is lump-free, smooth, and well blended.
Step 6: Add Dairy Milk Silk Chocolate
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan to fill the bottom. Sprinkle chopped Dairy Milk Silk chocolate evenly throughout the cake batter. Above it, pour the remaining batter and smoothen the top with the help of a spatula.
Step 7: Bake the Cake
Bake the cake in a preheated oven for 30Ð35 minutes and check doneness with the help of a toothpick. Insert a toothpick in the center of the cake and take it out. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs then the cake is done. Take out the cake on a wire rack to cool.
Step 8: Prepare the Ganache
Heat _ cup cream in a heavy bottomed saucepan until it just begins to boil. Pour this hot cream over chopped dark chocolate in a bowl and let sit so chocolate starts to melt. Stir until chocolate melts smoothly and becomes glossy. Add some butter for a glossier look.
Step 9: Apply Ganache
After the cake is completely cooled, spread the ganache over it generously and spread on the sides using a spatula. Refrigerate the cake to set for at least 20 minutes.
Step 10: Decorate and Serve
Decorate the cake with delightful garnishes such as chocolate curls, Dairy Milk Silk shards, and berries. Slice the cake up and serve the gooey Silky joy.
