    Step 6

    Bring it to a simmer.

    Step 7

    Step 15

    Fold the egg white in the cooled chocolate mixture.

    Step 16

    Now fold into the whipped heavy cream.

    Note: Be careful not to over mix otherwise the heavy cream will lose its texture.

    To Assemble The Cake

    Step 1

    Cut the top dome texture of the cake sponges. This will help you to get a flat and even surface.

    Step 2

    Arrange the bottom layer of the cake in the spring form pan.

    Step 3

    Pour the thick chocolate mousse over the cake sponge.

    Step 4

    Spread evenly with a spatula.

    Step 5

    Now cover the pan with cling wrap or any plastic covering.

    Step 6

    Place the pan in the refrigerator for 20 minutes or until set.

    Step 7

    Remove the pan and gently place the second cake sponge on top of the mousse.

    1. Tip To Assemble the Cake: You will need a spring-form pan or a cake ring to hold everything neatly as the cake sets. So that you can later easily un-mold your cake once the mousse has set without ruining the delicate layers. If you don’t have a spring-form or cake ring, you can do this in a regular pan, make sure it is the same size as your cake. Serving out of a regular pan can be a bit tricky though as it will be hard to lift out the cake neatly with that soft creamy mousse in the middle.
    2. Tip To Make Chocolate Mousse: If you want the mousse layer to show neatly and evenly through the cake, take an offset spatula or cut out a small rectangular piece off a tetra pack or hard paper and run it over the mousse around the circumference of the cake to remove the excess mousse, and give it a smoother finish.
    3. Tip To Decorate The Cake: You can top the cake with whipped cream, cherries any type of nuts or leave it as is.
    4. Tip To Make Chocolate Ganache: While making Chocolate ganache,don’t over boil the cream because if it boils for a few seconds, it will boil out of the pot.

       

    5. Tip To Make Thicker Ganache: If you want a thicker consistency for piping the ganache, just let it cool for a longer time.
