Delicious Chocolate Mousse Cake

Ingredients:

  • For the Chocolate Cake:
    • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
    • ¾ cup cocoa powder
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 cup whole milk
    • ½ cup vegetable oil
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 1 cup boiling water
  • For the Chocolate Mousse:
    • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
    • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted
    • ½ cup powdered sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 3 large egg whites
    • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat for about 2 minutes until well blended.
  4. Stir in boiling water until the batter is smooth (it will be thin!). Pour evenly into the prepared pans.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  6. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the chocolate mousse. In a bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla, and continue to whip until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  7. In another bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
  8. Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream, then fold in the egg whites.
  9. Once the cakes have cooled completely, place one layer on a serving plate and top with half of the mousse. Add the second cake layer on top, and spread the remaining mousse over the top and sides.
  10. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving, so all those delicious flavors come together.

Now, go ahead and slice yourself a piece of this heavenly creation. I promise you, it won’t last long at the party!
