Ingredients

This delicious chocolate cake recipe begins with a moist chocolate cake that is filled with a creamy chocolate mousse. To make this cake, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 4 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the oil, butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer, blend the ingredients together until a thick batter forms. Slowly add the hot water and blend until the batter is smooth. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake the cakes for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

While the cakes are baking, prepare the chocolate mousse. In a medium bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second increments. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until combined. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until the cakes are cool.

Once the cakes are cool, level the cakes by trimming off the domed top. Place one cake layer on a plate or cake stand. Spread half of the chocolate mousse over the cake. Place the other cake layer on top. Spread the remaining mousse over the top and sides of the cake. Refrigerate the cake for at least one hour before serving to allow the mousse to set.
