To make this Easter Chocolate Mousse Cake, you will need the following ingredients:

For the cake:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup hot water

For the mousse:

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

To assemble:

- Whipped cream
- Chocolate shavings
- Easter candy for decoration
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch cake pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well. Add in the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Slowly pour in the hot water and mix until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
Next, make the chocolate mousse. In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat and add in the chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Let the mixture cool to room temperature. Once cooled, beat the mixture with an electric mixer until it becomes light and fluffy.
To assemble the cake, cut the cake in half horizontally. Spread a layer of whipped cream on top of the bottom half of the cake. Spoon the chocolate mousse on top of the whipped cream. Place the top half of the cake on top of the mousse. Spread another layer of whipped cream on top of the cake. Decorate with chocolate shavings and Easter candy.
This Easter Chocolate Mousse Cake is a perfect combination of rich chocolate cake and creamy chocolate mousse. The cake is moist and fluffy, while the mousse is light and airy. The whipped cream adds a touch of sweetness, while the chocolate shavings and Easter candy make it a festive dessert. This dish is a must-try for any chocolate lover.
