    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 9-inch (22 cm) cake pan with parchment paper.

    2

    Melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler, then let it cool slightly.

    3

    In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder.

    4

    In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

    5

    Slowly stir in the melted chocolate, then gradually add the dry ingredients until just combined.

    6

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool completely in the pan.

    7

    Make the mousse: whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold in the melted chocolate and powdered sugar.

    8

    Slice the cooled cake horizontally into two layers and spread the chocolate mousse between the layers.

    9

    Frost the cake with the remaining mousse and garnish with cocoa powder or chocolate shavings.

    10

    Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the mousse to set.
