Double Chocolate Mousse Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• 8 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped (like Melanie, I used some of both.)
• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 5 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• 30-35 minutes. Cool completely in pan on rack. (My cake fell in the middle, that's alright.) Cover and chill while making the mousse.
• Chocolate Mousse:
• 1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces
• 4 large eggs, room temperature, separated
• 1/4 cup whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped very finely or grated
• ( make sure it is chopped finely or it won't melt completely)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• pinch of cornstarch
• Topping:
• 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• Chocolate curls or fresh raspberries for garnish
