Instructions

1. Bake the Chocolate Cake Base:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
• In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
• In another bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
• Spread the batter in the pan and bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• Let the cake cool completely in the pan.

2. Prepare the Mousse Layers:

• For each mousse layer:
  1. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave (in short intervals, stirring frequently).
  2. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly.
  3. Beat the heavy cream and sugar in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the melted chocolate until smooth.

3. Assemble the Torte:

• Spread the dark chocolate mousse over the cooled cake base and smooth the surface with a spatula.
• Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.
• Repeat the process with the milk chocolate mousse and then the white chocolate mousse, chilling between layers to ensure firmness.

4. Chill and Decorate:

• Once assembled, chill the torte for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Before serving, run a warm knife around the edge of the pan and release the springform. Decorate with shaved chocolate, cocoa powder, or berries.

5. Serve:

• Slice and enjoy this chocolate lover’s dream dessert!
