@Heena Mohindrau can go for chocolate butter cream or vanilla butter cream, whipped cream or chocolate ganache

Hello Aarthi !
I am a regular follower of your blog. ..a secret admirer! I tried this cake today. ..but not sure why the center part took very long to bake. About 50 minutes actually. The upper part has become crispy. What would be the reason? ?
Aarthi
@Anonymous i think u must have messed with measurements. try it once more.
Shivangi Katoch
