Egg less Devil's Food Cake
A Devil's Food Cake is an American classic.. Devil’s food
cake is supposed to be darker ,less sweet and generally more moist and airy
than other kinds of chocolate cake. The secret behind this moist, rich
chocolate cake is mixing the cocoa powder and no melted baking chocolate. Sometimes
there’s hot water, brewed coffee added. The lack of melted chocolate and the
addition of coffee is typically what distinguishes a Devil's food cake from a
chocolate cake
I made this cake for my Son's Birthday! This moist, fluffy
and rich chocolate cake is simply the most came out really good. It was soft

Assemble the cake:
I made single cake and Cut into 2 equal halves and set aside
Place one layer of the cake on a cake stand. Add some
ganache and spread it on the layer.
Put the other piece cake on top of the frosted cake.
Add some ganache on top of the cake and once done, frost the
sides.And it’s done.
Garnish with chocolate shaves and chocolate chips.
Just refrigerate the cake for an hour so that the ganache
sets.
