A rich and decadent dessert that layers luscious chocolate mousse over a moist chocolate cake, perfect for any chocolate lover's dream!
Ingredients 🛒
For the Cake:
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ cup whole milk (room temperature)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Mousse:
• 8 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa), melted
• 8 oz milk chocolate, melted
• 8 oz white chocolate, melted
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Glaze (for topping):
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
Directions:
1. **Preheat the Oven:** Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. **Make the Cake Batter:** In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
3. **Bake the Cake:** Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. **Prepare the Mousse:** In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the melted dark, milk, and white chocolate until fully combined.
5. **Assemble the Cake:** Once the cake has cooled, slice it in half horizontally to create two layers. Place one layer on a serving plate and spread a generous layer of chocolate mousse on top. Place the second layer of cake on top and spread more mousse over the top and sides of the cake.
6. **Make the Optional Glaze:** In a small saucepan, melt the semisweet chocolate chips and butter over low heat, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
7. **Chill and Serve:** Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to set the mousse. Slice and serve chilled, and enjoy this ultimate chocolate indulgence!
