Description

The ultimate indulgence for chocolate lovers featuring three different types of chocolate in a smooth and creamy mousse layered beautifully on a light cake base.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (room temperature)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces dark chocolate (70% cocoa), melted
  • 8 ounces milk chocolate, melted
  • 8 ounces white chocolate, melted
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (optional for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder.
  3. Add the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  4. 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 the cake completely before assembly.
  5. Melt dark, milk, and white chocolate separately, allowing each to cool slightly.
  6. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Divide the whipped cream into three equal portions.
  7. Gently fold one portion of whipped cream into each melted chocolate, creating three mousse flavors.
  8. Place the cooled cake layer on a serving plate or inside a springform pan for easy layering.
  9. Spread the dark chocolate mousse evenly over the cake, followed by the milk chocolate mousse, and finally the white chocolate mousse. Smooth the top and refrigerate for 2–4 hours until set.
  10. Optional: Melt the chocolate chips and butter together until smooth. Pour the glaze over the chilled mousse cake and spread evenly. Chill until the glaze is firm.
  11. Decorate with chocolate shavings, chopped nuts, or fresh berries for an elegant touch. Serve chilled and enjoy.

Notes

Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature. Be gentle when folding the whipped cream into the chocolate to maintain the mousse’s light and airy texture. Let the cake cool completely before adding the mousse layers.
