CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE CAKE AND A BIRTHDAY

                               

                                                    This chocolate truffle cake was made on my birthday .Thanks to the lock down ,my husband tried to get a cake in the vicinity ,but failed.And I am happy  that he didn't buy a cake else I wouldn't be making this delicious cake.As it was my birthday  I wanted a fancy cake ,but   I was doubtful about the frosting part..I never get it right for some reason.But this time I got it right,in fact it was perfect.I was very excited for cake cutting

                                            Chocolate truffle cake is nothing but chocolate cake with truffle sauce on top and between the layers.. This is a rich ,spongy,creamy,yummy cake perfect for any special occassion. You can always customize the toppings on the cake.I used Ferrero Rocher  chocolate as the topping which only added the richness of the cake.
