Delicious Chocolate Mousse Cake Recipe

Start by melting the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly. In another bowl, beat the eggs with sugar until the mixture is thick and pale. Fold the melted chocolate into the egg mixture gently.

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until well combined. Set the mousse aside to chill in the refrigerator.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract.

In another bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Once the cake base is cooled, remove it from the pan and slice it in half horizontally. Place one layer on a serving plate. Top with a generous amount of the chocolate mousse. Place the second layer of cake on top and cover the entire cake with the remaining mousse.

For the final touch, consider decorating with some shaved chocolate or fresh berries. Let the cake chill in the fridge for at least one hour before serving it for a delightful experience!
