Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk (or any dairy alternative)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 100g dark chocolate (60–70% cacao), finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for dark chocolate mousse)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp gelatin powder
  • 1 tbsp water (to bloom gelatin)
  • 1/2 cup cold heavy cream (for whipping dark chocolate mousse)
  • 100g milk chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for milk chocolate mousse)
  • 100g white chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for white chocolate mousse)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar with a hand mixer for about 4 minutes until pale and fluffy.
  4. Add the milk, oil, and vanilla, mixing briefly to combine.
  5. Gently sift the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 12–15 minutes. Allow to cool completely before removing from the pan.
  7. For the dark chocolate mousse, bloom the gelatin in water for about 5 minutes. Heat the cream and milk until steaming, then stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
  8. Pour the mixture over the chopped dark chocolate, let sit for a minute, and stir until smooth. Whip the cold cream to soft peaks and fold it into the chocolate mixture. Spread over the cooled cake and chill for 30–45 minutes to set.
  9. Repeat the process for the milk chocolate mousse, pouring it over the set dark chocolate layer and chilling again for 30–45 minutes.
  10. Finally, repeat for the white chocolate mousse, allowing the cake to chill for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight.
  11. Once set, decorate with chocolate curls, shavings, or cocoa powder before serving.

Notes

Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Allow sufficient time for each mousse layer to set properly.
