Raspberry Chocolate Mousse Cake

  • Author: David
  • Total Time: 5 hours
  • Yield: 10 servings 1x

Description

A rich and creamy layered dessert combining velvety chocolate mousse with a tangy raspberry topping. Perfect for special occasions or indulgent treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 oz (170g) dark chocolate (70% cocoa or semi-sweet)
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, chilled
  • 1 tsp unflavored gelatin powder
  • 2 tbsp warm water
  • 1 cup (150g) raspberries (fresh or thawed frozen)
  • 2 tbsp sugar (for raspberry layer)
  • 3 eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Unsalted butter (for greasing pan)
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for stabilizing whipped cream)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk 3 eggs and 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar until pale and fluffy. Sift in 1/3 cup (40g) cocoa powder and gently fold until combined. Pour into the pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. Cool completely.
  3. Melt 6 oz (170g) dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Let it cool slightly. Whip 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream until soft peaks form. Dissolve 1 tsp gelatin in 2 tbsp warm water and mix into the melted chocolate. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture.
  4. Blend 1 cup (150g) raspberries into a puree. Strain through a sieve to remove seeds. Heat the puree gently with 2 tbsp sugar and dissolve 1 tsp gelatin in the mixture. Let it cool.
  5. Spread the chocolate mousse evenly over the cooled cake base. Chill for 30 minutes. Pour the raspberry layer on top and smooth it out. Chill the assembled cake for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Once set, garnish with fresh raspberries and chocolate shavings before serving.

Notes

Chill each layer thoroughly before adding the next to ensure clean layers. Use room-temperature eggs for a fluffier cake base. If mousse feels too runny, refrigerate it for 10 minutes before spreading.
