To make this Heavenly Chocolate Raspberry 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 raspberry mousse:

- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1 cup heavy cream

For the chocolate ganache:

- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan. 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 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
Next, make the raspberry mousse. In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the raspberries have broken down and the mixture has thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to soften. Microwave the gelatin mixture for 10 seconds, or until it has dissolved. In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in the raspberry mixture and the gelatin mixture until well combined.
To assemble the cake, place the cooled cake on a serving plate. Spread the raspberry mousse over the top of the cake, making sure to spread it evenly. Place the cake in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
Finally, make the chocolate ganache. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add in the chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Let the ganache cool for a few minutes before pouring it over the top of the chilled cake.
The Heavenly Chocolate Raspberry Mousse Cake is now ready to serve. This dessert is a perfect combination of rich chocolate and tangy raspberries. The cake is moist and fluffy, while the raspberry mousse is light and airy. The chocolate ganache adds a rich and decadent touch to the dessert. This dessert is perfect for any occasion and is sure to impress your guests.
