Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Mousse Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, whole milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smoothly combined. Slowly incorporate the hot coffee.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry mixture, gently stirring until just combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared springform pan and bake.
- While your cake is cooling, melt the high-quality dark chocolate, then cool slightly. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form, then add sugar to create stiff peaks.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the melted chocolate into the egg yolks, then combine with whipped cream and egg whites.
- Once the cake has cooled, pour the mousse over the top and smooth it out. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
- Before serving, release the springform pan and top the cake with fresh raspberries, dust with powdered sugar and cocoa powder.
