| Chocolate Mousse Cake |
Well, that's a PERFECT birthday cake!
I made this cake for my own birthday, and took it to the restaurant when celebrating with my friends. Out of experience, normally half a cake remains.... but with this one, even the last crumb was gone!

RECIPE
Ingredients:
BASE:
2 egg whites
100 g caster sugar
4 tsp cocoa
drop of wine vinegar
TRUFFLE FILLING:
400 g dark chocolate
60 ml rum
60 ml golden syrup
500 ml double cream
cocoa to dust
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a 20 cm tin with baking parchment and oil sides. Whisk the egg white until foamy peaks form and whisk in the sugar a little at a time for a glossy texture. Sieve over cocoa and whisk in together with vinegar. Spread on the bottom of the tin and bake 15 mins. Leave to cool.
Melt the chocolate with rum and syrup in a bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Remove bowl and let cool for 5 mins.
Whisk cream until it thickens slightly. Pour into the chocolate mixture, beating gently until everything is amalgamated.
Pour into the meringue-bottomed tin and cover the tin with clingfilm. Put in the fridge overnight or even one or two days.
Before serving, take it out of the fridge to let it lose its chill. Remove it from the tin and dust over cocoa. Decorate as you wish, with whipped cream, chocolate pieces, shavings, flowers, sprinkles, etc.
