Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round or springform pan, lining the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a spacious bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, ⅔ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- In another bowl, beat 2 large eggs with 1 cup of granulated sugar until pale and creamy. Add ½ cup of vegetable oil, ½ cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
- Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined.
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- While the cake cools, melt 8 ounces of dark chocolate chips and let it cool slightly. Whip 1 cup of heavy cream to stiff peaks and fold into the chocolate.
- Spread the dark chocolate mousse over the cooled cake and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- Melt 6 ounces of white chocolate chips and cool slightly. Whip another 1 cup of heavy cream to stiff peaks and fold into the white chocolate.
- Spread the white chocolate mousse over the dark layer and return to the fridge for another 30 minutes.
- Whip more heavy cream to stiff peaks and dollop on top of the white mousse. Garnish with chocolate curls if desired.
- Chill the cake for at least 2-4 hours before serving.
