Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
• Add the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.
• Gradually add the buttermilk (or whole milk), and mix until smooth.
• Slowly add the boiling water or hot coffee and stir until the batter is smooth and thin.
• Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.

2. Prepare the Dark Chocolate Mousse:

• In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each. Once melted, let it cool slightly.
• In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
• Gently fold the whipped cream into the melted dark chocolate, followed by the vanilla extract. Set aside.

3. Prepare the Milk Chocolate Mousse:

• Repeat the process for the milk chocolate mousse: melt the milk chocolate, then let it cool slightly.
• In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar to stiff peaks.
• Fold the whipped cream into the melted milk chocolate, adding the vanilla extract. Set aside.

4. Prepare the White Chocolate Mousse:

• For the white chocolate mousse, melt the white chocolate and let it cool slightly.
• Whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar to stiff peaks, then fold it into the melted white chocolate and add vanilla extract. Set aside.

5. Assemble the Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake:

• Once the cake has completely cooled, slice it into two even layers.
• Place the bottom layer of cake on the base of a springform pan (or any cake ring). Spread the dark chocolate mousse over the cake layer, smoothing it out evenly.
• Place the second layer of cake on top of the dark chocolate mousse and gently press it down.
• Spread the milk chocolate mousse over the second layer of cake, smoothing it out evenly.
• Finally, spread the white chocolate mousse over the milk chocolate mousse, smoothing it into an even layer.
• Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the mousses to set properly.

6. Garnish and Serve:

• Once the mousse layers have set, carefully remove the cake from the springform pan.
• Garnish the top with chocolate shavings or curls and fresh berries for a decorative touch.
• Slice and enjoy the layers of rich, creamy mousse and decadent chocolate cake!
