Preparation Steps
- 1
Make the Genoise Cake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Gradually fold in the flour and melted butter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool completely.

Prepare the White Chocolate Mousse
Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. In a small bowl, bloom the gelatin in water and then dissolve it over low heat. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually fold the melted white chocolate and gelatin into the whipped cream. Sweeten with powdered sugar to taste.

Assemble the Cake
Once the genoise cake is completely cooled, slice it in half horizontally. Spread half of the white chocolate mousse between the layers and the remaining mousse on top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
