Ingredients:

To make this mouthwatering eggless truffle chocolate cake, you will need the following:

 Ingredients:

- 1 and ½ cups of all-purpose flour

- 1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder

- 1 and ½ cups of sugar

- 1 and ½ teaspoons of baking powder

- 1 teaspoon of baking soda

- 1 teaspoon of instant coffee powder (optional, but it enhances the chocolate flavor)

- A pinch of salt

- 1 and ½ cups of milk (you can use any dairy or non-dairy milk of your choice)

- ¾ cup of vegetable oil

- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

- 1 tablespoon of white vinegar (acts as an egg substitute)

- For the truffle frosting:

  - 1 and ½ cups of heavy cream (or non-dairy whipping cream)

  - 1 cup of dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate

  - 2 tablespoons of butter (or dairy-free butter substitute)

  - 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round cake pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

2. In a large mixing bowl, sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, instant coffee powder, and salt together. Mix well to combine.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and white vinegar until well blended.

4. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Mix until you have a smooth and thick batter.

5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top using a spatula or the back of a spoon.

6. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack.

8. While the cake is cooling, prepare the truffle frosting. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer.

9. Remove the cream from the heat and add the dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and combined with the cream.

10. Add the butter and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture and stir until smooth and glossy.

11. Let the truffle frosting cool slightly and thicken. You can refrigerate it for about 15-20 minutes to speed up the process.

12. Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the truffle frosting over the top and sides of the cake using a spatula or a palette knife.

13. For an extra touch, you can decorate the cake with chocolate curls, sprinkles, or any other toppings of your choice.

14. Allow the frosting to set in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
