Chocolate Sponge:
- Melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter separate, than combine and mix until well combined.
- Stir in the egg yolks until the mixture is smooth.
- Whip the egg whites with caster sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the meringue into the chocolate mixture in three additions, ensuring it's fully incorporated without deflating the meringue.
- Pour the batter into a 19x28 cm cake tray and bake at 180°C for 12 minutes. Allow the sponge to cool completely.
Marquise Chocolate Mousse:
- Semi-whip the 390g of whipping cream until it has the consistency of melted ice cream. Place it in the fridge for later use.
- Bring the milk to a simmer and add the hydrated gelatine, stirring until dissolved.
- Melt the Chocolate: Pour the hot milk over the dark chocolate and stir until the mixture is smooth.
- Carefully fold the chilled semi-whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in two batches until fully incorporated.
- Pour the chocolate mousse over the cooled chocolate sponge and refrigerate for about 2 hours until set.
Chocolate Glaze:
- Make the Glaze: In a small pot, bring the milk and caster sugar to a simmer.
- Pour the hot mixture over the dark chocolate and stir until the glaze is smooth and shiny.
- Once the mousse has set, pour the glaze over the cake and return it to the fridge to set.
Chocolate Whipped Cream Topping:
- Bring 50g of cream and honey to a simmer, then pour it over the dark chocolate. Whisk until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
- Gradually whisk in 200g of whipping cream until fully combined.
- Allow the mixture to chill in the fridge for about an hour.
- Remove the cake from the frame and trim it to your desired size. Decorate the cake with the chocolate whipped cream topping as desired.
- Your Gluten-Free Chocolate Mousse Cake is now ready to be served! Enjoy this rich, indulgent dessert!
