Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup whole milk, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Mousse:

  • 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

Optional Glaze:

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

  • Make the Cake:
    Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Add milk, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Pour into pan and bake for 25–30 minutes. Let cool completely.

  • Prepare the Mousse Layers:
    Melt each chocolate (dark, milk, white) in separate bowls. Cool slightly. Whip heavy cream with sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form, then divide into three portions. Fold each portion into the respective chocolate until smooth.

  • Assemble the Cake:
    Once the cake cools, spread dark chocolate mousse on top, followed by milk and white chocolate mousse layers. Smooth with a spatula and refrigerate for 2–4 hours.

  • Optional Glaze:
    Melt semisweet chocolate chips and butter together. Pour over the mousse cake, then chill until firm.

  • Serve:
    Garnish with chocolate shavings or fresh berries. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Garnish with fresh fruit or nuts for added texture.
  • Use a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version.
  • The mousse can be prepared a day ahead for easier assembly.
