Truffle mousse cake

Black and white chocolate cake is a pastry classic. I've been wanting to make a cake like this for a very long time. Finally, for my husband’s birthday, I realized my plans. The cake turned out amazing. The dense, slightly sweet cake goes well with delicate white chocolate mousse.

  7. STEP 7

    STEP 7

    Mix whipped cream into the dough.

  8. STEP 8

  24. STEP 24

For me personally, mousse cakes are higher mathematics, I’m afraid I can’t handle it. I'll try this recipe. Strawberry mousse cake, said to be for beginners.
