Chocolate Drip Cake with Ganache Frosting-A super soft, moist and delicious chocolate cake with cholate cream filling and chocolate ganache frosting. This is just perfect for anytime chocolate indulgence and is eggless and butterless too.
This chocolate drip cake is an amazing and very easy to make and seriously you won’t miss the eggs or butter in it. The chocolate cream filled between the two layers of cake and the light and fluffy ganache frosting is just perfect.
I have had baked this cake like a hundred times and the recipe never ever fails. I always follow this best eggless chocolate cake recipe from Gayatri Cook Spot and believe me it is a foolproof recipe.
So I baked this cake last week for our Anniversary and the girls totally loved it. If it is a birthday or anything special my girls always ask me to bake something with chocolate. So once in a while or should I say maybe once in a six month I bake generously with chocolates.
As I have banned buying chocolates, candies, and sugar in the house they think I am too strict so to balance that off I do make something sweet only if it is a festival or other celebration.
The whole cake was gone in just a few minutes of cutting it and no wonders as they don’t get that many sweets so they would finish anything in just jiffy.
Sometimes I think if I am too harsh on them but then reading all about the harmful effects of sugar I convince myself to be okay being little tough.
Anywys enough blabbering about me, let me tell you if you love chocolates and want a simple yet scrumptios cake for any event this chocolate crip cake is just perfect for you.
Go ahead and do try and I am sure you will love it just like we all do.

One question you said 150 ml of whipped cream this is before whipping right. I am always confused about the measurements. Thanks in advance.
Thank you Archana, yes it is before whipping.
