Ingredients for Truffle Cake:

- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions to prepare Truffle Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round cake pan.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the yogurt, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the hot water to the batter and mix until smooth. The batter will be thin, but that’s normal.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Chocolate Ganache:
- Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it simmers.
- Remove from heat and pour over the chopped dark chocolate.
- Let it sit for a minute, then stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the ganache is smooth.
Assembly:
- Cut the cooled cake horizontally into two layers.
- Spread a layer of chocolate ganache on the bottom layer and place the other layer on top.
- Pour the remaining ganache over the top layer, allowing it to drip down the sides.
