Tips to make Eggless Chocolate Truffle Cake

  • For a richer truffle flavour, boil the Nestlé MILKMAID tin as mentioned. This gives a deep caramel note that enhances the ganache.
  • Since the truffle is the star, opt for at least 50–70% cocoa dark chocolate for a balanced bitterness and creaminess.
  • SEnsure your chocolate truffle’s sponge is completely cool before slicing and layering to avoid melting the truffle.
  • SRefrigerating the chocolate truffle cake before pouring the final hot truffle layer helps create a smooth, even glaze that sets beautifully.
  • SA sprinkle of cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, or gold leaf elevates both the taste and presentation of your chocolate truffle cake.
