Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare a cake pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper.
2
Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
4
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
5
Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (or in the microwave). Stir in the heavy cream until smooth and glossy.
6
Dissolve the gelatin in a small amount of warm water. Add the dissolved gelatin to the chocolate cream and mix well to combine.
7
Pour the chocolate mousse over the cooled cake layer. Refrigerate the cake for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the mousse to set completely.
8
Before serving, dust the top of the cake with cocoa powder, grated chocolate, or chocolate decorations.
