Prepare the Cake

In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together. Stir until smooth, then remove from heat.

Melt Chocolate and Butter

In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until pale and fluffy.

Mix Sugar and Eggs

Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring constantly. Fold in the flour and a pinch of salt until just combined.

Combine Ingredients

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.

Bake the Cake

In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

Make the Mousse

Once the cake is cool, gently fold the whipped cream into the remaining melted chocolate until well combined. Spread the mousse over the cooled cake.
