Thanks :)Any recipes for a nice chilled chocolate mousse/truffle like in M%26amp;M Meatshops Chocolate Truffle Dream cake?
Chocolate Mousse Torte


This is the ultimate cake of cakes !!!! Takes a little time but very impressive !!





CAKE


3 foil wrapped bars (total 6 oz ) Semi-sweet chocolate baking bar


1 1/4 cup water, divided


2 1/4 cup flour


1 tsp baking soda


1/4 tsp salt


1 1/2 cup sugar


1/4 cup butter, softened


1/4 tsp vanilla


2 eggs





MOUSSE FILLING


1 foil wrapped bar ( 2 oz) Chcocolate semi- sweet baking bar


2 TBSP of sugar


1 1/2 cup heavy cream, divided





VIENNESE GLAZE


4 foil wrapped bars ( 8 oz ) semi- sweet chocolate baking bar


2/3 cup heavy cream


3 TBSP powdered sugar


1/4 tsp vanilla





Cake


Preheat oven to 375


Combine over hot water ( not boiling)


3 baking bars and 1/4 cup water


Stir until bars are melted and mixture is smooth


Set aside


Combine flour, salt and baking soda


Set aside


Combine sugar, butter, and vanilla, beat well


Add eggs one at a time


Blend in chocolate mixture


Gradually add flour mixture with 1 cup of water


Spread into 4 greased 9 inch round pans





This will not take long to bake. Original recipe calls for 2 pans and then splitting cakes which is a crumby mess. The 4 pans is much quicker and makes a much nicer cake.





Cool cakes and remove form pans


Spread 3 of the layers with the mousse filling ,placing the 4th cake on top with no filling


A good idea is to put this i the refrigerater a few min, to set the filling before putting on the glaze


The glaze will set very fast and it will have a veery nice smooth look to it.





GLAZE


In med pan over low heat


Combine chocolate bars, heavey cream, and powdered sugar


Stir untill mixture is smooth


Add vanilla


Transfer to small bowl


Cool to room temp


Pour over cake





If I make this in the summer I like to get leaves like lilac ones, wash them and dry


Brush the top of the leaves in melted chocolate and put in freezer on wax paper to harden


Carefully peel off leave and place the 3 chocolate leaves in the center of the cake
