Chocolate Mousse Cake

Sometimes you need a little treat… This is one of my favourite cakes, to bake and to eat. It’s easy to do, doesn’t take too long and no matter what, it is always a great success!
From Ms Nigella Lawson, enjoy this little piece of heaven!
300gr dark chocolate
50gr milk chocolate
175gr unsalted butter
8 large eggs, separated
100gr light brown sugar
100gr caster sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 pinch of salt
Method:
Preheat the oven at 190°C. Melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler, or bain-marie. Make sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water, when melted put on a side to cool down. Keep the water covered and gently boiling.
In another bowl beat egg yolks and sugar, until light and smooth then add to the melted chocolate.
Whisk the egg whites in a large bowl until soft peaks form and gently fold into the mixture, going from the bottom to the top until smooth.
This is an Italian treat: apply a thin layer of butter on the loose base round cake tin (25cm) and dust with flour. Then pour the cake batter into the tin which you have placed into a larger roasted tin half filled with water.
Gently put into the oven and bake for 50minutes to an hour. Outside should look cooked and dry, but inside should be of a luscious, thick mousse consistence. Let it cool completely before releasing from the tin.
Dust with icing sugar, then enjoy, enjoy and enjoy!!!
