Mocha Mousse Cake Recipe ☕🍰

 

Ingredients:  

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour  

- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder  

- 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules  

- 1 cup granulated sugar  

- 4 large eggs  

- 1/2 cup vegetable oil  

- 1 cup heavy whipping cream  

- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped  

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract  

- 1/4 teaspoon salt  

Directions:  

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a

9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.  

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder,

instant coffee granules, sugar, and salt.  

3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and vegetable oil

until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to

the wet mixture, stirring until a smooth batter forms.  

4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for

25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center

comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.  

5. For the mousse, heat the heavy whipping cream in a

saucepan over medium heat until it simmers. Remove

from heat and stir in the chopped chocolate until melted

and smooth. Add vanilla extract and let it cool for 10

minutes.  

6. Once the cake is cool, spread the mousse evenly over

the top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set. Slice and

serve chilled.

Tips:

sweet chocolate in the mousse.

batter for a crunchy texture.  

- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a dusting of

cocoa powder for an elegant presentation.
