Anything with the word "cake" in it is usually a good thing, but a cake with mousse turns a yummy dessert to a heavenly dessert. Chocolate mousse cake isn't difficult to make, but it takes patience. It takes almost an hour to bake, and then has to chill for 4 hours, but it is well worth the wait! Of course, chocolate mousse cake is not a good choice for those of us who are concerned about calories, but you have to splurge and enjoy life once in a while, and what better way to do that than with a delicious chocolate mousse cake! At least you will definitely enjoy every calorie. LOL

Chocolate Mousse Cake Recipe

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9 inch springform pan.
2. Heat white sugar, butter, water, coffee and chocolate in a 3-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth; remove from heat. Beat in the eggs and pour into the prepared pan. Batter is very thin. If side and bottom of pan do not fit tightly, line the pan with foil.
3. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, about 45 to 50 minutes. Cool completely. Remove sides of pan. Cover cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours.
4. Remove plastic wrap. Beat whipping cream and confectioners' sugar in a chilled 1 1/2 quart bowl until stiff. Garnish top of cake with whipped cream and, if desired, whole almonds. Refrigerate any remaining cake.

    Nice Lens ! I get more information in this site. I like Chocolate.So try everyone... Chocolate Lovers .I thought that chocolate chips were needed in an otherwise perfect cake. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts, if using. Chocolate lovers, rejoice -- this is your dessert. Cocoa powder flavors flat disks of meringues, and rich bittersweet chocolate is the base for the filling that holds them together.
