Instead of lemon juice I use apple cider vinegar to sour the milk and I do this first and set it aside.I also use coconut oil instead of olive oil and three eggs instead of two eggs. I have changed this recipe to be gluten Free and lactose free so I substitute the particular ingredients for those which relate to no gluten and no lactose. When it comes to the ganache, I have tried this with coconut cream instead of lactose cream and also with zymil cream which is lactose free but I use a top brand of chocolate which is made from cacao and only half the amount specified. I make the cake in one large pan and wait for it to cool, then dissect it before filling the layers with a cacao icing mix - sounds like I've practically remade the cake but it works EVERY time!
