For the Silky Mousse:

- 8 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 2 tbsp sugar

Instructions:
Make the Chocolate Cake:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 8-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Incorporate the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla, stirring until smooth.
4. Slowly mix in the boiling water (the batter will be quite thin).
5. Divide the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes. Allow the cakes to cool completely.
Make the Mousse:
1. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
2. Remove it from the heat and add the chopped chocolate, sugar, and vanilla, stirring until the mixture is completely smooth.
3. Allow the mousse to cool, then refrigerate for 1-2 hours until it thickens.
Assemble the Cake:
1. When both the cake and mousse have cooled, place one layer of cake on a serving plate.
2. Spread a generous portion of mousse on top, then add the second layer of cake.
3. Cover the entire cake with the remaining mousse.
4. For an extra touch, feel free to decorate with chocolate shavings or curls.
Savor every bite of your delightful creation! 🎂💕
