Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • 1½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup whole milk, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup sour cream, room temperature
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp espresso powder
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 cups heavy cream, divided
  • 3.5 oz dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 4.5 oz white chocolate, finely chopped
  • 5 oz milk chocolate, finely chopped
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sour cream, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until fully combined and smooth.
  5. In a small bowl, dissolve the espresso powder in hot water. Pour into the batter and mix until incorporated.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cakes cool completely in the pans before turning them out. Level the tops if needed.
  8. For the mousses: Heat 1 cup of heavy cream in two bowls with dark and white chocolates separately until melted; whisk egg yolks with sugar and cornstarch then combine with heated cream to create custard. Fold whipped cream into each chocolate mixture.
  9. Assemble by layering the cake with dark mousse first, then white mousse; chill for at least four hours.
  10. Prepare ganache by heating ⅓ cup heavy cream and pouring over chopped milk chocolate; let cool slightly before spreading over chilled cake.
