Directions

Take 1.5 tsp of lime juice in a mixing bowl, add ¾ cup of milk and set them aside for 10 mins.
Now in another mixing bowl take 2 tbsp hot water and add 1 tbsp of coffee powder, mix them to make coffee concoction.
Take the bowl with the mixture of milk and lime juice and add ¼ cup + 1 tbsp of oil, 1 tsp vanilla essence and coffee concoction to it with 1 cup of powdered sugar. Mix them well.
Using a sieve strain ¼ cup + 1 tbsp of all purpose flour , ¼ cup of cocoa powder, 1+¼ tsp of baking powder, ¼ tsp of baking soda and ⅛ tsp of salt. Mix all the dry and wet ingredients well to make smooth and lump free batter.
Transfer the batter into a 7 inch cake tin, lined with Oddy ecobake baking and cooking paper. Place the cake tin in pre heated pressure cooker and bake it for 50 mins on medium flame. After 50-55 mins take out the cake tin and let it cool down.
Meanwhile we will prepare the frosting, in a pan take 100gm of chopped white compound chocolate and 80 ml of milk. Melt the chocolate on low flame while stirring.
Ina chilled mixing bowl take 1+¼ cup of chilled whipping cream and beat it using a beater.
Take 2 spatulas of whipped cream in a separate bowl and place it in the freezer, while add the white melted chocolate in the remaining cream and add ¼ cup of cocoa powder along with 4-5 tbsp of powdered sugar, and mix them well.
Transfer the chocolate velvet cram into a large piping bag. Demold the cake and divide it in 3 layers.
Moist the cake using sugar syrup and add a layer of chocolate velvet cream and add another layer. Repeat the process for all three layers. Smooth the top layer of cake and crumb coat it.
Using a spatula and a card, smoothen the top and sides of the cake. Now use edible gold dust and decorate the cake as shown in the video.
Now take some left out cake crumbs and add 1 spatula of chocolate velvet cream, mix them to make semi soft dough. Using straw or toothpicks make buds like structure as shown.
