Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
Make the Sponge Base
- In a bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, beat eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
Combine Sponge Ingredients
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake the Sponge
- Bake the sponge for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Prepare Dark Chocolate Mousse
- Melt dark chocolate in a saucepan or microwave. Whip 1/2 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into melted chocolate gently.
Spread Dark Mousse
- Pour dark chocolate mousse over cooled sponge. Smooth the surface and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
Prepare Milk Chocolate Mousse
- Melt milk chocolate. Whip 1/2 cup heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold cream into chocolate gently. Pour over dark mousse layer and chill 30 minutes.
Prepare White Chocolate Mousse
- Melt white chocolate. Whip 1/2 cup heavy cream. Fold cream into white chocolate. Pour over milk chocolate layer and smooth the top. Chill for 1–2 hours.
Decorate the Cake
- Top the set mousse cake with chocolate shavings or curls. Optionally, dust lightly with cocoa powder for extra elegance.
Serve and Enjoy
- Carefully remove the cake from the springform pan. Slice with a sharp knife and serve chilled for the best texture.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for richer flavor and smoother mousse.
- Whip cream until stiff peaks form for a light, airy mousse.
- Chill each mousse layer before adding the next to prevent mixing.
- Add a layer of fresh raspberries between mousse layers for a fruity twist.
- Decorate with cocoa powder, berries, or chocolate drizzle for presentation.
