  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1/4 cup melted butter

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Raspberry Mousse:

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 2 tsp powdered gelatin

  • 2 tbsp cold water

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (whipped to soft peaks)

Chocolate Mousse:

  • 6 oz dark chocolate (melted and cooled)

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (whipped to soft peaks)

Instructions

  • Make the Cake Base:

    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

    • Mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

    • Add milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.

    • Pour into an 8-inch round cake pan and bake for 25–30 minutes.

    • Cool completely.

  • Prepare Raspberry Mousse:

    • Puree raspberries and strain to remove seeds.

    • Sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let bloom for 5 minutes.

    • Gently heat bloomed gelatin until melted, then stir into raspberry puree with sugar.

    • Fold in whipped cream until well combined.

  • Prepare Chocolate Mousse:

    • Fold melted, cooled chocolate into whipped cream until smooth and fluffy.

  • Assemble the Cake:

    • Place the cooled cake base in a springform pan.

    • Spread raspberry mousse evenly over the cake.

    • Layer chocolate mousse over raspberry mousse and smooth the top.

    • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

  • Serve:

    • Remove from springform pan and decorate with fresh raspberries, chocolate shavings, or a dusting of cocoa powder.

Notes

  • Use frozen raspberries if fresh ones are unavailable—just thaw and drain before pureeing.

  • For added elegance, drizzle with raspberry coulis or chocolate ganache before serving.

  • Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
