Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Mousse Recipe

Melt the chocolate in the milk over low heat. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs with the powdered sugar. Add the melted butter.

Add the warm milk, then the flour and the baking powder. Whisk together. Pour into a 20 cm diameter cake pan. Preheat your oven to 180°C and bake for 35 minutes.

Let cool completely before unmolding. Using a bread knife, level the surface.

Mix the chocolate mousses until you obtain a creamy texture. Cover the cake with this cream. Mix the powdered sugar and the cream together; the mixture should be slightly thick.

Pour the mixture into a very fine piping bag (or a zip-top bag with one corner snipped off) and create a spiral on the cake.

To finish, using a toothpick, start from the center of the cake and move towards the edge to create a spider web effect.
