Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup whole milk

Mousse Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp agar-agar powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two round cake pans making sure they are evenly coated to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and baking powder until well combined to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy, then add the vegetable oil and whole milk, mixing thoroughly for a smooth liquid base.
  4. Create the Cake Batter: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
  5. Bake the Cake Layers: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. Let the cakes cool completely on wire racks.
  6. Prepare the Raspberry Chocolate Mousse: Melt the dark chocolate chips gently using a double boiler or microwave. Separately, heat the raspberries with agar-agar powder until the agar-agar dissolves completely, then combine with the melted chocolate, stirring well to create a smooth mousse with a fresh fruity flavor.
  7. Assemble the Cake: Place one cooled cake layer on your serving plate, spread half of the raspberry chocolate mousse evenly over it. Top with the second cake layer and cover the entire top of the cake with the remaining mousse. Chill if desired before serving to allow mousse to set.

Notes

  • Ensure cakes are completely cooled before assembling to prevent the mousse from melting.
  • Agar-agar acts as a vegan gelatin alternative to help set the mousse firmly.
  • Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor; frozen may add extra moisture and affect texture.
  • Dark chocolate chips with at least 70% cacao provide a rich contrast to the tartness of raspberries.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
