Secret Ingredient for Chocolate cake with ganache.

It was a wonderful saturday after a great shot of snow.Our satsang members decided to give a wedding satsang party to newly wedded Narayananji and Rekhaji.As we already planned, I decided to make a chocolate cake and navaratna kurma.So I decided to make the cake and sekhar on navaratna kurma.A week before this party,on new year day, we got the divine blessings from our Guru Maharaj through his lecture. We got the fortune to attend His mass prayer through Namadwaar Webcast.While sharing Nama anubhava, one devotee named Kumaresan from Ambur said,chanting nama makes mind peaceful and challanged people how chanting Maha Mantra while cooking makes food so delicious..Me and sekhar decided to test on this.We started chanting nama throughout the process of cake making and decorating.With no doubt, it was a big hit and i never made such a delicious cake ever in my life.



This is the recipe of  chocolate cake with chocolate ganache frosting.
