CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE

Chokladmoussetårta

1 cake, 8 to 10 pieces

3½ oz butter or margarine

2 eggs

1.2 cup sugar

0.6 cup flour

0.2 cup cocoa

Mousse:

7 oz dark chocolate

7 oz milk chocolate

5 egg yolks

1.6 cups heavy cream

Decoration:

berries

Preheat oven to 347F.

Melt the butter and allow to cool. Stir together eggs and sugar. Add butter, flour and cocoa and pour the batter in a greased springform pan, diameter approx 9 inches. Bake for about 20 minutes and allow to cool. Melt the chocolate over a waterbath and allow to cool.

Beat the egg yolks in a large bowl and beat the cream in another. Gently stir the chocolate into the egg yolks and quickly stir in a Little of the cream. Gently add remaining cream, pour it in the pan and store cold for about 4 hours to set.

When serving, cut the cake in nice pieces and decorate with berries.

One important thing is that the chocolate must not be too warm when stirring in the yolks, or they will curdle. If you suspect that, quickly stir in some cream.

Enjoy!
