How to Make Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake
Step 1: Prepare the Cake Layer
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, and then mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in alternating batches with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in the boiling water and cocoa powder until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before transferring it to a cake plate.
Step 2: Make the Milk Chocolate Mousse
- Place the milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer, then pour over the chocolate. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth and combined.
- Let the chocolate mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to firm up.
- Once chilled, whip the mixture with a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix until fully incorporated.
Step 3: Make the Dark Chocolate Mousse
- Repeat the same process as for the milk chocolate mousse, using dark chocolate and following the same method.
Step 4: Make the White Chocolate Mousse
- Once again, repeat the process for the white chocolate mousse, using white chocolate and whipping it as described.
Step 5: Assemble the Cake
- Place the cooled cake layer on a serving plate.
- Spread the milk chocolate mousse over the cake, smoothing it out evenly.
- Follow with a layer of dark chocolate mousse, then top with the white chocolate mousse, spreading each layer smoothly and evenly.
Step 6: Chill and Serve
- Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 3 hours or until the mousse layers are firm.
- Once ready to serve, garnish the top with shavings of chocolate or fresh berries if desired.
