Professional Baker Teaches You How To Make CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This chocolate mousse cake is a patisserie-style glazed mousse torte. It does take some time to make, assemble and set, so start preparing it at least a day ahead of when you intend to serve it.

Ingredients
Cake
½ cup (125 ml) boiling water
2 oz (55 g) unsweetened chocolate, chopped
¼ (60 g) cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 large large egg, at room temperature
½ (100 g) cup sugar
1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
1 ¼ cup (185 g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp (3 g) baking powder
¾ tsp (4 g) baking soda
¼ tsp (1.5 g) salt
½ cup (125 ml) hot, strongly brewed coffee
Mousse
3 cup (750 ml) whipping cream, divided
12 oz (340 g) semisweet chocolate, chopped
3 large egg yolks, at room temperature
½ cup (100 g) sugar
⅓ cup (80 ml) water
Chocolate Glaze
½ (125 ml) cup water
1 cup (200 g) sugar
½ cup (125 ml) whipping cream
½ cup (60 g) Dutch process cocoa powder, sifted
1 ½ Tbsp (10 g) unflavoured gelatin powder
Directions
1. For the cake, preheat the oven to 325 F (162 C). Grease 2 8-inch round cake pans, line the bottoms with parchment paper and then lightly dust the sides of the pan with flour, tapping out any excess. *Please note that only 1 cake layer is needed for this recipe, but it is easiest to make this recipe in its full measure and freeze the second cake for a later use.
2. Whisk the boiling water, chocolate and butter together until melted (it will be visibly grainy) and set aside.
3. Whip the egg, sugar and vanilla until the mixture doubles in volume (about 2 minutes on high speed) and then fold in the chocolate mixture by hand.
4. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt over the batter and fold in, then stir in the hot coffee (this will make the batter become fluid). Divide the batter evenly between the 2 pans.
5. Bake the cakes for about 25 minutes, until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely in the pans.
6. For the mousse, have ready a 9-inch springform pan, lining the bottom with parchment paper (in order to make the mousse-filled cake easier to remove from the pan). Whip 1 ½ cups of the whipping cream until it holds a medium peak when the beaters are lifted and chill.
7. Heat the remaining 1 ½ cups of cream to just below a simmer and then pour it over the chopped chocolate. Let this sit one minute, then gently stir until incorporated. Set aside.
8. Place the egg yolks in a bowl and whip for a minute on high speed. Place the sugar and water in a small saucepot over high heat and boil (occasionally brushing the sides of the pot with water) until it reaches 250 F (120 C) on a candy thermometer. Start whipping the egg yolks on medium speed and then carefully pour the hot sugar down the side of the bowl to avoid splashing, and then increase the mixer speed until high and whip until this has doubled in volume and cooled to about 105 F (40 C) (just above body temperature).
9. Measure the temperature of the ganache to ensure it is close to 105 F as well, and fold the ganache into the whipped yolks. Let this cool for 15 minutes, or until just above room temperature, then fold in the chilled whipped cream in 2 additions.
10. Pour half of the mousse into the ungreased springform pan. Slice one of the cake layers in half horizontally and place this over the mousse, as centred as possible. Pour the remaining mousse over the cake layer and gently place the other half of the cake layer on top, pressing gently just so the mousse covers the sides of the cake, but not so that it sinks in. Wrap the pan in plastic wrap and freeze the cake to set it, at least 4 hours, or overnight.
11. While the cake is setting, prepare the glaze. Bring the water, sugar, and cream to a boil in a medium saucepot. Once boiling, whisk in the cocoa powder and simmer (reducing the heat if needed) for 4 minutes, stirring often, (the consistency will not change). Remove from heat. Soften the gelatin in ¼ cup (60 ml) of cold water and then whisk this into the hot cocoa mixture until dissolved. Cool the glaze to room temperature, then chill completely, at least 3 hours.
12. To finish the cake, remove it from the freezer invert the pan onto a cooling rack placed over a parchment-lined baking tray. Use a hair dryer on a low, hot setting to gently warm the pan so that it releases from the pan, the sides first and then the top. Warm the chilled glaze while whisking occasionally until just melted and smooth and pour this over the torte, spreading gently with a spatula to ensure that it covers the top and sides of the torte evenly. Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes, then lift it onto your presentation plate and store chilled until ready to serve.
13. The cake will keep, refrigerated, for up to 4 days.

Pitch Perfect , watching her baking with such ease , finesse, flow is just beyond perfection. It's treat watching her every time.
I made this cake and have to say it was amazing. I think my actual cakes where slightly thinner than Ann's but other than that it was perfect. Worth the time and effort. Thank you for sharing.
Everyone should try this. Absolutely amazing. Tried once and will definitely be my ultimate fav choc cake recipe
I made this last week and it came out divine. I couldn't believe i could make anything so beautiful. I'm making another to show off to my neighbors tomorrow :D

Does the sugar cook the yolks or they remain raw?
I have been Anna's fans for years, even before I went to study pastry myself, and I will continue to be your fans. Very often WHY is just as important as HOW in baking (and cooking) and I have you to thank, for so so many of my pastry fundamental skills. THANK YOU.
This lady has taught me so much. You are appreciated Anna,
I love the way you convey confidence and objectiveness.

You are the BEST Anna Olson. You explain in a unhurried manner without repeating yourself but at the same time explaining smallest of detail Love from India 💓
I have made this cake multiple times now. I use a very similar but different cake base recipe that my family likes but follow the exact process shown and the mousse, glaze etc and it is a huge hit. Its gone in few minutes. Thank you for detailed video.
I love how detailed you explain things.
Mrs Anna your videos are amazing!!! I accidentally found you and I can't wait to make your recipes. And the way you explain everything is so simple! Well done! Love from Greece.
Anna, you are simply the best, your instructions are always precise and clear! Thank you so much!I love this recipe since I saw it on your book. Now, I am going to give it a try for my birthday.

Oh Yum with Anna Olson hi gorgeous , where can I buy your book ?
Anna often provides the recipes I have the most success with. They are also really enjoyable to simply watch. I love this cooking channel.
I m so glad I found your channel 🥺❤ Thank you for sharing this recipe. I'm gonna try this soon❤
This recipe is amazing, but I´d love to watch new videos from Anna rather than old ones being published again.
Love this lady efficiency, no-nonsense baking! It’s all about the baking not the baker yet we appreciate her brevity of comments zillions.
This video is so refreshing to watch this great video that is teaspoons and cup measurements instead of weighing everything out...I'm old school. I love this Video and this Recipe.
Anna, i like how you narrate and make any recipe shine any brighter as it is, Thank you for the videos
I always come back to watch this for the chocolate mousse and glaze recipe!
That's the cleanest kitchen I've ever seen I'm so messy when I make cakes
You're a real chef! I love the way u cook 💖
I agree, it really is a work of perfection.
"The cake will keep, refrigerated, for up to 4 days" This cake will never last 4 days in my house. Never
You make it look so effortless!
my favorite baker on youtube. I'm def going to make this.
Looks amazing and seems easy to do will try

I've tried this yummy rich and smooth chocolate cake and the best also is the trick of chocolate ganache with is perfect yummy ❤thanks chef Ana❤
Whenever I watch one of her cakes I have this funny feeling that those cakes must be served with tea on a lovely spring afternoon sitting in a lovely garden with feiu looking at fruit trees in full bloom. And of course it's sometime around 1895...and my name is Anne Shirley🤭
I will try this one on EID. It looks heaven

Try making a creme anglaise, when it’s cooked add gelatine, allow to melt, then strain the creme anglaise into the warm chocolate and mix well and watch the magic happen!
That is perfection 😍
This cake is really oh yum.
Kitchen envy!!!!
I made this for my father in-law birthday made him very happy it was a hit nothing left. After that they always request for this chocolate mouse cake. Thank you for the recipe you inspired me of your cooking talent.
Hi anna, I wonder when unmix the butter n chocolate with hot water then you mix into the sugar n egg mixture, do you wait till the butter chocolate in the hot water till it cool , or you mix into the sugar egg mixture while it s warm??
OMG!! UMMM! CHOCOLATE!!!
Best cake ever!
loved it, love you Anna
I looove it .... yummmmm
Hi Anna I love your recipes. Just a quick question do I have to freez this cake first or it can be set in the fridge? And how long it’s take to thaw before serving it?? Please reply. Thank you

Good point Sandra. Sometimes things get edited out due to timing.
Thank you for the recipe and technique!!! Looks so beautiful. What are the ingredients for the glaze? .... oh, just found it! Thanks!
Hello Anna! Can you freeze it 5 days before and put the glaze the day of? Or will the quality be less good?
Anna, you are the best! I made this recipe a couple days ago, served it last night and it was just as perfect! The recipe seems intimidating at first, but surprisingly turned out to be pretty easy. Thank you for all the tips and pointers. Your cake left me and my family hungry to try more of your recipes. I am looking forward to see the rest of your videos. All the best to you dear and keep up the great work!

@@khizrahassan7423 I love Anna's recipe. It has been my favorite cake ever since. It's a heavy mousse cake however, but It's to die for.. We did cut it into smaller portions. But it's enough for 15 people roughly i'd say.
Love it!
Yum Christina thanks for sharing
if you subsitute quality white chocolate or dark chocolate do these recipes work equally well? or is there any alterations since fat composition and such is different between chocolate types? i would like to make tri-chocolate mousse in the cake
Hi Anna , I am from India.....I love your recipes and the way you explain really too good.....Today May 28th ,my daughter Elizabeth's Birthday.... my second daughter Celine and myself made this cake.....it was Absolutely Amazing....A PERFECT CHOCOLATE TREAT FOR THE CHOCOLATE LOVERS.....THANK YOU SOO MUCH ❤💕😍

A "full simmer" is when it starts to boil?
Could you use cake flour, or would it change the texture?
WOW.. I wish I could have 1 slice of it.
oh that so yum!!
Do you chill the glaze in the fridge after room temperature and is it okay to stay more than 3 hours?
Hey! Can i make this cake on friday and serve it on saturday? I mean including the chocolate glaze..can i get it ready by fri if i want to serve on sat?

hi anna I just wanted to ask ,what if I don't want to use a hairdryer,is there something else to take the frosted cake out?
Dear Anna, beautiful video! I have a question can I put the cake to the fridge and not into the freezer ? Thank you :)
Wow. Super yummy 😋😍
Hi anna..Can this recipe be done without using gelatin???
Can it be covered in fondant?
It's amazing ❤
Can i use the wipped cream in the can rather than using whipping cream that not have been whip to make the mousse and can i use chocolate chip rather than the chocolate bar?
Anna you are simply the best. Love from Pakistan
