• Once the cakes have cooled, place one layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a generous layer of the chocolate mousse over the top of the cake.
• Carefully place the second cake layer on top and gently press down.
• Spread the remaining mousse over the top and sides of the entire cake. Use an offset spatula to smooth the mousse evenly over the cake. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set and firm up.

4. Prepare the Ganache (Optional):

• For an extra decadent touch, make the ganache topping. Heat 1/2 cup heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
• Remove from heat and pour over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
• Let the ganache cool slightly before pouring it over the top of the cake. Allow the ganache to drip down the sides for a beautiful finish.

5. Serve:

• Once the cake is fully set and the ganache has hardened, slice and serve. For an extra touch, garnish with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or whipped cream.

Tips:

• Make-Ahead: This cake can be made a day in advance and refrigerated overnight to let the mousse set even more.
• Flavor Variations: You can add a touch of espresso powder to the cake batter for a richer chocolate flavor or infuse the mousse with a bit of liqueur like Bailey’s or Grand Marnier.
• Storage: Keep the cake stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
