How to bake the chocolate mousse cake with dark and light chocolate
The soil

This quadruple chocolate mousse cake is rich, chocolaty and decadent, hardly not to fall in love with it from the first bite. Four airy layers of chocolate goodness on top of an Oreo crust, is simply hard to resist.

Preheat the oven to 180°C and place a baking paper in your springform pan (26 cm).
Mix the baking cocoa with the water to a paste. Mix the eggs with the sugar in a bowl until foamy and then mix in the soft butter, sugar, flour and baking powder and finally the cocoa. Fill the dough into the baking tin and bake the cake for about 20 to 25 minutes. Then take it out and let it cool down. Cut it horizontally into 2 halves.

The dark chocolate mousse

Now you make the chocolate mousse:
Put a water bath on it and melt the chocolate carefully. Make sure that no water gets into the bowl with the chocolate so that it does not become lumpy. Then let the melted chocolate cool down a little. Meanwhile, whip the cream with the cream stiffener and the icing sugar in another bowl. When the chocolate has reached room temperature and is still liquid, slowly mix it with the cream using a spatula.
Fill the chocolate mousse onto the cake base and spread it evenly with a spatula. Then the other cake base comes on top.

The white chocolate mousse

Soak the gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes. Then boil the milk with the sugar and remove the pot from the heat. Soften the gelatine in the pan and add small pieces of white chocolate. Stir everything to a uniform mass and let it cool down to room temperature. Beat the cream until stiff and fold into the chocolate mixture. Now the chocolate mousse can be spread in a thick layer on top of the cake.

Decorate the cake with raspberries and put it in the fridge for at least 5 hours.
