Ingredients
For the Cake:
– 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– ½ cup whole milk (room temperature)
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Mousse:
– 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
Optional Glaze (for topping):
– 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
– 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
1. Preparing the Cake:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder.
Add milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
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.
2. Making the Mousse Layers:
Melt dark, milk, and white chocolate separately, allowing each to cool slightly.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Divide the whipped cream into three equal portions.
Gently fold one portion of whipped cream into each melted chocolate, creating three mousse flavors.
3. Assembling the Cake:
Place the cooled cake layer on a serving plate or inside a springform pan for easy layering.
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.
4. Optional Glaze:
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.
5. Serving:
Decorate with chocolate shavings, chopped nuts, or fresh berries for an elegant touch. Serve chilled and enjoy.
This triple chocolate mousse cake is rich, velvety, and utterly irresistible.
