Notes

Amount of chocolate should be more for making ganache for chocolate truffle cake.
You can use mix of milk and dark chocolate compound
Instead of whipping cream you can use Amul fresh cream.
I have made it many times without cream too. Just use milk, butter and mix with chocolate to form ganache.
I use store bought ragi flour directly in baking without roasting.
Ragi is acquired taste and it goes well with chocolate.
Always cool the cake completely before cutting or decorating
If you are using oven, preheat the oven to 180°C and bake in the same temperature for 35-40 minutes till tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
Baking time will vary so always keep an eye after 40 minutes
If your ganache is too thick you can heat for few seconds in microwave and pour it on the cake.
