    Yes, you can use any neutral-flavored oil like canola or sunflower oil instead of unflavored vegetable oil.

  3. What can I use instead of dark chocolate for ganache?

    You can use milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate, but it may alter the flavor slightly.

  4. Can I bake this cake in an oven instead of on a tawa?

    Yes, you can bake the cake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20-25 minutes.

  5. How do I store the cake?

    Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
