Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for chocolate mousse)
  • 200g dark chocolate, chopped (for chocolate mousse)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for chocolate mousse)
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for raspberry mousse)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 1/2 tsp unflavored gelatin
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for raspberry mousse)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.
  4. Alternate adding flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes. Cool completely.
  6. For chocolate mousse: heat 1/2 cup cream until hot (not boiling), pour over chopped dark chocolate and stir until melted. Let cool slightly. Whip remaining cream and fold into the chocolate mixture. Chill until set.
  7. For raspberry mousse: puree raspberries and strain seeds. Heat raspberry puree with sugar and lemon juice. In a separate bowl, dissolve gelatin in water, then mix into warm raspberry puree. Cool. Whip cream and fold into the raspberry mixture. Chill until slightly firm.
  8. Assemble: Place the cake layer in a springform pan. Spread chocolate mousse over the cake, chill until set. Spread raspberry mousse on top and chill for 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Unmold cake, garnish with fresh raspberries or chocolate shavings before serving.

Notes

  • You can use frozen raspberries if fresh are not available.
  • Make sure each mousse layer is set before adding the next.
