- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream (for dark chocolate mousse)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, and sugar.
- Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 20–25 minutes. Let the base cool completely.
- For the dark chocolate mousse, whip 1 cup of heavy cream with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold in the melted dark chocolate, then spread this mousse over the cooled base. Chill to set.
- Repeat this process with the milk chocolate mousse, using 1 cup of heavy cream and 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, then folding in melted milk chocolate.

- Once all the mousse layers are set, dust the top with cocoa powder and decorate with fresh raspberries and edible flowers.
