Mousse Cake Ingredients
Method
Mousse Cake Directions
Prepare the Cake Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with butter and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Melt Chocolate
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir until smooth and let it cool slightly.
Mix Peanut Butter
In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and eggs until well combined. Add the melted chocolate and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
Whip Cream
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate-peanut butter mixture, being careful not to deflate the cream.
Assemble the Cake
Pour the mousse mixture into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
Serve
Once set, carefully remove the mousse cake from the pan. Slice and serve chilled, optionally garnished with additional whipped cream or chocolate shavings.
