Chocolate Cake
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup boiling water
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the egg, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth.
Gradually stir in the boiling water (the batter will be thin).
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack.
Milk Chocolate Mousse
Ingredients:
1 cup milk chocolate, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons gelatin powder
3 tablespoons cold water
Instructions:
Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a small bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Melt the milk chocolate in a microwave or double boiler until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Heat 1/2 cup of the heavy cream until warm (do not boil). Stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
Pour the warm cream mixture over the melted chocolate and stir until smooth.
In another bowl, whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully combined and silky.
Assembly
Once the cake has completely cooled, spread or pipe the milk chocolate mousse over the top evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until the mousse is set.
Garnish with shaved chocolate, cocoa powder, or fresh berries for a beautiful presentation.
