Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line it with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda.
  • In another bowl, beat together eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add in vegetable oil and buttermilk, mixing until well incorporated.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until just combined, then slowly mix in hot water or coffee.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing.

Prepare the Mousses

  • Melt the dark, milk, and white chocolates in separate bowls.
  • Whip the cream for each mousse until soft peaks form. Fold whipped cream into the melted chocolate for each layer until well combined.

Layer the Cake

  • Slice the cooled cake into layers and spread the dark chocolate mousse on the first layer, followed by another layer of cake, then milk chocolate mousse, and finally, white chocolate mousse.
  • Chill the assembled cake in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, preferably overnight.

Decorate

  • Decorate with grated chocolate, chocolate curls, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder before serving.

Notes

Allow mousse layers to set properly and use quality chocolate for best results. Store leftover cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
