Description
An ultimate indulgence for chocolate lovers featuring three luscious layers of dark, milk, and white chocolate mousse.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup whole milk, room temperature
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 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
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (optional for glaze)
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (optional for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Add milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
- Melt each type of chocolate (dark, milk, and white) separately and let it cool slightly. Whip the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Divide the whipped cream into three portions. Fold one portion into the dark chocolate, one into the milk chocolate, and one into the white chocolate, gently folding to keep the mousse airy.
- Place the cooled cake layer on a serving plate. Spread the dark chocolate mousse, followed by the milk chocolate mousse, and finally the white chocolate mousse.
- Smooth the top and refrigerate for 2-4 hours, or until set.
- For optional glaze, melt chocolate chips and butter until smooth, then pour over the top of the set mousse cake.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings, sliced nuts, or fresh berries. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing results. Be gentle when folding whipped cream to maintain the airy texture.
