A decadent dessert featuring rich layers of dark chocolate and fluffy mousse, perfect for special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a round cake pan.
  2. Melt dark chocolate and butter together in a bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth.
  3. Whisk together egg yolks and sugar until pale. Stir in vanilla and the melted chocolate mixture.
  4. Fold in the flour and a pinch of salt until just combined.
  5. Whip egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the chocolate mixture, ensuring not to deflate them.
  6. Bake the batter in the prepared pan for 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  7. Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form for the mousse.
  8. Combine the whipped cream gently into the cooled chocolate mixture until fully combined.
  9. Refrigerate the mousse over the cooled cake base for at least 4 hours until set. Serve chilled, optionally garnishing with chocolate shavings.

Notes

Pairs beautifully with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
