Instructions
1. Make the Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (180ยฐC). 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 batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25โ30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
2. Prepare the Mousse Layers:
Melt each type of chocolate (dark, milk, and white) separately and let cool slightly.
Whip heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Divide whipped cream into three portions.
Fold one portion of whipped cream into the dark chocolate, one into the milk chocolate, and one into the white chocolate, folding gently to maintain the airy texture.
3. Assemble the Cake:
Place the cooled cake layer on a serving plate or in a springform pan.
Spread the dark chocolate mousse over the cake, followed by the milk chocolate mousse, and finally the white chocolate mousse.
Smooth the top and refrigerate for 2โ4 hours, or until set.
4. Optional Glaze:
Melt chocolate chips and butter until smooth. Pour over the top of the set mousse cake and let chill until firm.
5. Serve:
Garnish with chocolate shavings, chopped nuts, or fresh berries. Slice and serve chilled.
