Equipment

  • Hand mixer
  • Saucepan
  • Springform pan (26 cm)
  • Baking paper
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Ingredients

  • 200 g whole milk chocolate
  • 100 g dark chocolate
  • 250 ml milk
  • 4 gelatin leaves
  • 3 medium eggs
  • 100 g sugar
  • 2 tablespoons hot water
  • a pinch salt
  • 70 g wheat flour (Type 405)
  • 2 tablespoons baked cocoa
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil (e.g., sunflower oil)
  • 400 g cream
  • 1 pack cream puffs
  • 1 tablespoon baking cocoa for dusting

Instructions

  • Chop whole milk and dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a bowl.
  • Heat the milk in a saucepan until it comes to a boil and pour it over the chopped chocolate, stirring gently to melt.
  • Soak gelatin leaves in cold water, then squeeze out excess and dissolve in the chocolate mixture.
  • Cool the chocolate mixture in the fridge.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) or 160°C (320°F) for fan-assisted ovens.
  • Line the bottom of a 26 cm springform pan with baking paper and optionally oil spray for extra non-stick.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, sugar, hot water, and salt with a hand mixer on high for about 3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
  • Sift flour and cocoa, fold them into the egg mixture quickly, and stir in the oil.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes.
  • After cooling, whisk the chocolate mixture to loosen it.
  • Whip the cream until stiff peaks form and fold it into the chocolate mixture.
  • Spread half the mousse over the cooled sponge, arrange cream puffs on top, press slightly into the mousse, and add the remaining mousse.
  • Refrigerate the cake for 2 hours to set.

Notes

Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze individual slices. For a special touch, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before serving. Use room-temperature eggs for a smoother sponge. Dust with cocoa just before serving for presentation. Modify the recipe with substitutes like almond flour for gluten-free or Greek yogurt for a lighter mousse.
