Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 6 oz dark chocolate (chopped)
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream (for dark mousse)
  • 2 tbsp sugar (for dark mousse)
  • 6 oz milk chocolate (chopped)
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream (for milk mousse)
  • 2 tbsp sugar (for milk mousse)
  • 6 oz white chocolate (chopped)
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream (for white mousse)
  • 2 tbsp sugar (for white mousse)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk. Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth.
  6. Pour this batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Allow the cake to cool completely.
  7. For the dark chocolate mousse, melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave.
  8. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the melted dark chocolate until smooth. Set aside.
  9. Repeat the same process with the milk chocolate for the milk chocolate mousse and then the white chocolate for the white chocolate mousse.
  10. Layer the mousses: Spoon the dark chocolate mousse on top of the cooled cake and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
  11. Add the milk chocolate mousse layer, refrigerate again, and finally add the white chocolate mousse.
  12. Refrigerate the entire cake for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
  13. When ready to serve, slice and enjoy the rich, velvety layers of chocolate.

Notes

For the best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. Allow each mousse layer to set properly for the best texture. Garnish with chocolate shavings or whipped cream for an extra touch.
