To make this Heavenly 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
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 3 large egg whites
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch cake pan and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add in the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. Gradually stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before removing it from the pan.
To make the mousse, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add in the chopped chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until they are frothy. Add in the sugar and cream of tartar, and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture until well combined.
To assemble the cake, place the cooled cake on a serving plate. Spread the chocolate mousse over the top of the cake, making sure to cover the entire surface. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours, or until the mousse is set.
