Chocolate cake with raspberry mousse – notes
I made this chocolate cake with raspberry mousse at the end of July, but I forgot about it and only now have prepared the recipe for you.
And I’ll add that it’s worth trying. This raspberry cake is delicious! Plus, it’s light and intensely fruity. And the combination of raspberries and chocolate tastes sensational!
How to make chocolate cake with raspberries – tips
Start by baking a thin chocolate sponge cake. If you don’t feel like baking, you can use chocolate biscuits instead. Simply arrange them at the bottom of the pan and spread the raspberry mousse directly over the biscuits. For the mousse, you will need raspberries (frozen ones can also be used), raspberry jelly, whipping cream, and mascarpone. You need to simmer the raspberries with a little sugar and jelly, then strain them through a fine-mesh sieve. This way, you will get rid of the fruit seeds, and the raspberry mousse will be velvety.
For the top of the cake, I made a very simple chocolate cream. You only need two ingredients for it – chocolate and whipping cream. I used dark chocolate here because I really like it in baked goods. You can also use milk chocolate – then the cream will be sweeter.
After preparing, you must chill the chocolate raspberry cake in the refrigerator. This allows the raspberry mousse and chocolate cream to set slightly. Before serving, you can additionally decorate the cake with chocolate shavings and fresh raspberries.
