CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE
Steps:
- Grated chocolate, cookie crumbs or chopped nuts for coating the sides of cake, if desired
- Cake:
- Lightly coat the insides of 3 9 by 1 1/2-inch cake pans with melted butter. Line each pan with parchment paper, then lightly coat the parchment paper with more melted butter. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Heat 1-inch of water in the bottom half of a double boiler over medium heat. Place remaining butter and 8 ounces semisweet chocolate in the top half of the double boiler. Tightly cover the top with film wrap. Allow to heat for 10 to 12 minutes. remove from the heat, stir until smooth, and hold at room temperature.
- Place the egg yolks and 3/4 cup sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle. Beat on high until slightly thickened and lemon-colored, about 4 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat on high for an additional 2 minutes.
- While the egg yolks are beating, whisk 4 egg whites in a large stainless steel bowl until stiff, but not dry, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold the melted chocolate mixture into the beaten egg yolk mixture. Add a quarter of the beaten egg whites and stir to incorporate, then gently fold in the remaining egg whites.
- Divide the batter between the prepared pans, spreading evenly, and bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool in the pans for 15 minutes. (During baking, the surface of the cakes will form a crust; this crust will normally collapse when the cakes are removed from the oven.) Invert the cakes onto cake circles, remove the parchment paper, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Filling:
- To prepare the dark chocolate cream, heat 1-inch of water in the bottom half of a double boiler over medium heat. Place the semisweet chocolate in the top half of the double boiler. Tightly cover the top with film wrap and allow to heat for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir until smooth. Transfer the melted chocolate to a stainless steel bowl and set aside until needed. Place heavy cream and sugar in the well-chilled bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a well-chilled balloon whip. Whisk on high until stiff peaks form, about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove the bowl from the mixer. Use a hand whisk to combine 1/4 of the whipped cream into the melted chocolate until smooth and completely incorporated. Add the combined whipped cream and chocolate to the remaining whipped cream and use a rubber spatula to fold together.
- Ganache:
- Heat the heavy cream and the butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil. Place the semisweet chocolate in a 3-quart stainless steel bowl. Pour the boiling cream over the chocolate and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Stir until smooth. Chill 1 cup of ganache for at least 1 hour. Remaining ganache should be at room temperature
- To assemble cake:
- Arrange one of the cake layers in a 9-inch springform pan, evenly spread half the filling over the cake and top with the second layer. Add remaining filling and top with the remaining cake layer. Chill 2 hours. Transfer chilled cup of ganache to pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Remove cake from springform pan and coat sides and top with room temperature ganache. Using chilled ganache, decoratively pipe stars on top of cake. If desired, coat sides of cake with grated chocolate, cookie crumbs of chopped nuts.
3 LAYER CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE MOUSSE FILLING (GLUTEN FRE
This is a modification to Gluten Free Chocolate Cake (http://www.food.com/recipe/gluten-free-chocolate-cake-224448) previously posted. I added a layer to make it big, adjusted ingredients to be more allergy friendly and made a chocolate mousse filling between the layers. The mousse filling doubles as frosting without making it too sweet. I hope you love it.

Steps:
- Start by making the Cake:.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease the bottom of (3) 9" round pans. (I used a basic 3 pack of tin foil pans located in the baking section of the grocery store.) Set butter out on counter so it can soften at room temperature, salt for cake and filling. Put a metal bowl in the freezer to chill so it will be ready when you make the mousse.
- Sift flours together (sorghum flour, tapioca flour, and white rice flour). Add cocoa, xanthan gum, baking soda, cream of tarter and salt. (note: if you are using salted butter do NOT add salt.) (note: if you do NOT have a corn allergy you can replace 4 1/2 teaspoons baking soda and 1 7/8 cream of tarter with 3/4 teaspoon baking soda and 3 3/4 teaspoons baking powder.).
- In a separate large bowl, beat the butter until creamy (note: the longer you leave it setting out at room temperature the easier this will be). Slowly add the brown sugar and granulated white sugar, whip until fluffy.
- Add the eggs and egg yolks one at a time to the butter sugar mixture. Then add the vanilla.
- Turn the mixer to low and alternately add the flour mixture and coconut milk to the butter/egg/sugar mixture. (note: it will be very thick and difficult to mix, just take your time so it gets consistently mixed at each point).
- Pour (or scoop) equal amounts of the mixture into the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the cake is springy to the touch and a tooth pick comes out clean. Set on cooling racks to cool. Let the cakes cool completely before attempting to stack. If you would like a smooth edge you can trim the cakes to be the same size prior to adding chocolate mousse layers.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the mousse filling/frosting (I made a double batch):.
- Cut the butter into small cubes. In a small microwaveable bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Melt in the microwave for 20-30 seconds at a time until smooth. Be careful not to boil he chocolate as it will change the consistency of the mousse and make a huge mess in the microwave.
- Add vanilla and 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream to the chocolate/butter mixture until combine.
- Remove metal bowl from freezer, combine chocolate/butter mixture and remaining heavy whipping cream using a hand mixer. Whip until smooth and firm peaks begin to form. Do not over whip as the mousse will break and have a graining appearance. Cover mousse with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Putting the cake together:.
- Put a small amount of mousse and spread it in the center of the pan or plate you are making the cake on, this will keep it from moving while you frost it.
- Place the first layer of cake on top of the mousse, cover the top of the cake with mousse mixture. Repeat by stacking the next layer on top of the mousse. Using a cake knife or smooth spatula, cover the outside of the cake with mousse (the same way you apply frosting to a cake). Using a decorating bag filled with remaining mousse mixture, decorate the edges and top of the cake. If the mousse starts to melt or if your work space is warm, you may need to move mousse back to the refrigerator between layers to prevent it from melting). You can also use shredded coconut, chocolate chips, or chocolate shavings if you prefer for decoration.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve and left overs. I refrigerated mine over night before serving and it was still delicious and moist for 3-4 days after cutting.
3-LAYER FUDGE CAKE WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE FILLING
I was looking for a beautiful, rich cake to make for Christmas this year and this was exactly what I was looking for! I found this recipe online and it originally came from Bon Appetit. I wanted something chocolate and peppermint to go with the season. It turned out to be the best cake I've ever made! My family wants it to be a tradition for me to make this cake every Christmas from now on. I hope it turns out just as wonderful for you as it did for me! It takes time but it is well worth it. The cooking/preparation time does not include the hours it needs to cool in between.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Use a 9 inch springform pan.
- With pan locked, coat inside of pan with a thin film of butter. This will help alumnium foil to adhere to contour of pan. Place sheet of alumnium foil inside pan and press along bottom and sides.
- This step will prevent batter from leaking during baking.
- In heavy saucepan, over low heat, combine butter, sugar, and coffee; stir until all is melted.
- Remove from heat.
- In separate bowl, beat eggs (by hand or electric mixer) a couple of minutes, until slightly thickened.
- Stir in chocolate and mix to a uniform color.
- Pour in pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes.
- Cake will fall slightly as it cools.
- When room temperature, open springform pan, peel foil away from sides, place serving plate on top and flip over. Remove remaining foil.
- Serve at room temperature.
- Note: This cake is rather hard to slice, use plain dental floss or kitchen string, and holding taut in both hands, slice through cake, dividing it as you go.
- For Christmas, decorate center with holly leaves and cranberries.

EASY MOUSSE CAKE FILLING - ANY FLAVOR!
This is the easiest filling to make for a layer cake. You can make it in almost any flavor. Instead of or in addition to the instant pudding, you can mix in a fruit filling such as marionberry or strawberry. My favorite flavor of pudding to use is cheesecake. Tastes so good with a chocolate or lemon cake. This will make enough to fill a typical layer cake.
