• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs

• 1/2 cup milk

For the Chocolate Mousse:

• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Ganache:

• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate

Instructions:

1. Bake the Cake:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round cake pan.
• In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In another bowl, mix the sugar and melted butter. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until well combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing it.

2. Prepare the Chocolate Mousse:

• In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it’s just about to simmer (don’t boil).
• Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth.
• Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly, then fold in the sugar and vanilla extract.
• In a separate bowl, whip the remaining cream until stiff peaks form.
• Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully combined.
• Refrigerate the mousse for about 30 minutes to set.

3. Assemble the Cake:

• Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the chocolate mousse evenly over the top.
• Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to allow the mousse to set.

4. Prepare the Ganache:

• Heat the heavy cream until just simmering, then pour over the chocolate.
• Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and glossy.
• Let the ganache cool slightly before pouring it over the mousse layer.

5. Chill and Serve:

• Refrigerate the cake for another hour or until the ganache is set.
• Slice and enjoy your rich and creamy Chocolate Mousse Cake!

Indulge in layers of chocolatey goodness with every bite!
