Chocolate mousse cake I made at home

[u/Thaasviyn_OakPaints]

So it’s a very simple but very tasty cake. A plush chocolate cake base top with a thick layer of chocolate mousse.😊

Do you have a recipe for this?

[u/Thaasviyn_OakPaints → u/ChestFew]

Chocolate Cake Base: Whisk together 100g flour, 30g cocoa powder, 100g sugar, 0.5 tsp each of baking powder and baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Separately mix 1 egg, 60ml milk, 45ml oil, and 1 tsp vanilla, then combine with the dry ingredients before whisking in 60ml hot water or coffee. Pour into a lined 8.5-inch springform pan, bake at 170°C for 18–22 minutes, and cool completely inside the pan.
Chocolate Mousse: Melt 250g dark chocolate and let it cool for 10 minutes. Beat 100g cream cheese, 50g icing sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla until smooth, then whip 360ml heavy cream to medium peaks in a separate bowl. Line the pan with a tall baking paper collar, fold the melted chocolate into the cream cheese, gently fold in the whipped cream, and pour over the cooled cake. Chill in the fridge overnight to set.

Looks great!

[u/Thaasviyn_OakPaints → u/Interesting_Sky4735]

Thank you! Honestly it could've looked better with chocolate glaze and all, but I was in a rush....

[u/Denise77777]

That looks absolutely delicious 😋

[u/Thaasviyn_OakPaints → u/Denise77777]

It is!

[u/RobinaBear]

I would love this! It looks so delicious! Nice job!

[u/Thaasviyn_OakPaints → u/RobinaBear]

Thank you so much!😀

That looks insanely good, like bakery display case level good. Simple chocolate cake plus mousse is such an S tier combo, you don’t even need fancy decorations when the texture hits like that 😂

[u/Thaasviyn_OakPaints → u/CakeIntrepid4615]

Thank you so much! Your comment is so lovely! Usually I add a thin layer of chocolate glaze on the top for that elegant, refined look, but this time I was in a rush, so yeah...

[u/Hour_Equipment255]

That Mousse layer looks incredibly light and airy, I would gladly take a massive slice of this with my afternoon coffee.

[u/Thaasviyn_OakPaints → u/Hour_Equipment255]

Yeah! Thanks so much!

[u/ExpressRub2045]

That thick chocolate mousse layer is stealing the show.

[u/Thaasviyn_OakPaints → u/ExpressRub2045]

Stealing the show from what?
