Double Layered Chocolate Truffle Gateau | Eggless Chocolate Truffle Cake | Indian Style Eggless Gateau |
Double Layered Chocolate Truffle Gateau is a rich, indulgent, and eggless chocolate dessert that perfectly balances the deep flavor of dark chocolate with the smooth sweetness of white chocolate. This Indian-style Eggless Chocolate Truffle Cake is made using a soft chocolate sponge cake, layered with two luxurious types of truffle icings — dark and white. Each bite of this decadent dessert melts in your mouth, offering an irresistible blend of creaminess, moisture, and chocolaty goodness. Perfect for celebrations, special occasions, or as a show-stopping dessert, this gateau is a true delight for every chocolate lover.
The secret behind its heavenly texture lies in the two different truffle icings. The dark chocolate truffle icing is made from chopped dark chocolate and fresh cream, melted together until smooth and glossy. This creates a deep, intense flavor that defines the character of the cake. Similarly, the white chocolate truffle icing brings a contrasting sweetness and a velvety finish. Both truffles are cooled over ice to achieve the perfect consistency — rich yet spreadable — making the layering process easy and elegant.
The soaking syrup, prepared using sugar, water, and vanilla essence, is an essential component of this gateau. It ensures that every layer of sponge cake remains soft, moist, and full of flavor. As each layer is brushed with syrup, it absorbs a delicate vanilla fragrance that complements the boldness of the chocolate truffles beautifully. This step also enhances the overall mouthfeel, preventing the cake from becoming dry, even after refrigeration.
To assemble the Eggless Chocolate Truffle Gateau, the cake is sliced into three even layers. The base layer is moistened with syrup and coated with a generous spread of dark chocolate truffle icing. The second layer is filled with the white chocolate truffle icing, creating a stunning visual and flavor contrast. Finally, the top layer is soaked again and enveloped in a smooth coat of dark chocolate truffle icing all around. This gives the gateau its signature glossy, rich, and indulgent finish.
When served chilled, the Double Layered Chocolate Truffle Gateau achieves the perfect texture — firm yet melt-in-the-mouth, with layers that complement each other in both color and taste. The combination of bittersweet dark chocolateand creamy white chocolate ensures that each bite offers a balance of richness and lightness. The subtle vanilla undertone enhances the chocolate’s intensity, making it a truly luxurious dessert experience.
Overall, this Eggless Indian-style Gateau is a masterpiece of simplicity and elegance. It uses minimal ingredients but delivers maximum satisfaction. Ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, or festive gatherings, this truffle cake not only looks beautiful but also tastes divine. With its double-layered charm and creamy textures, the Double Layered Chocolate Truffle Gateau is sure to become a timeless favorite — a true celebration of chocolate in every sense!

I had made this cake for a good friend of mine on her birthday and turned out so awesome that a lot of people actually found it difficult to believe that it was homemade. I got many compliments. Thank you for such a good recipe.

Hi Dipika, Use any cooking chocolate, do not use chocolate powder.
