chocolate mousse cake
This cake will take you to chocolate Heaven!!!! I have 2 versions of this cake. One is where I top it with chocolate frosting while the second is with whipped cream frosting. Either way it's awesome! When I am in a pinch for time I use a Moist Deluxe Devil's Food Cake Mix, I think cake mix boxed is as good as if not sometimes better than do it yourself chocolate cake. As an added touch, I drizzle hot fudge or chocolate syrup when I serve it up on a plate! ENJOY! Note: Rich's Bettercreme Frosting is in milk form and you have to whip it yourself, it can be found at your local cake supplier if they sell it or Gordon Food Service (GFS) also a restaurant supply company.

How To Make chocolate mousse cake
-
Step 1Make devil's food cake according to package directions for 2 9inch rounds. Set cake aside and let cool.
-
Step 2Mix ingredients for chocolate mousse and refrigerate until ready to assemble cake (when cake is cool).
-
Step 3Remove cake from pans, slice one 9inch round in the middle creating 2 layers. Remove one layer and set aside.
-
Step 4Spread chocolate mousse on 1st cut layer, top with 9inch round that was not cut. Spread another layer of chocolate mousse and top with the other layer that was cut. Wrap cake in plastic wrap and freeze for a couple of hours.
-
Step 5Remove cake from freezer and remove plastic wrap. Using a knife, cut cake so that it has a flat top, perfectly round all around the edge. This will ensure a cake that isn't crooked.
-
Step 6If using chocolate frosting from a tub or other chocolate frosting, frost cake until completely covered and decorate to your liking.
-
Step 7If using Bettercreme, whip Bettercreme according to package directions and frost and decorate cake to your liking.
-
Step 8I usually top off my cake with some chocolate mousse rosettes all along the edges of cake to give it a color contrast.
-
Step 9Refrigerate cake in a cake carrier until ready to serve. Drizzle with hot fudge, chocolate syrup, chocolate shavings or oreo cooking crumbs all along the edge of cake or whatever you like. Be creative!
