Ingredients
Ode to the Dome
Chocolate Truffles
Ode to the Dome
1. Prepare the Sponge Cake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large bowl, combine the chocolate sponge cake ingredients and mix until smooth. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
2. Bake the Cake
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on a wire rack.
3. Assemble the Dessert
Once the cakes are completely cooled, slice each cake in half horizontally to create four layers. Place one layer on a serving platter, spread a layer of vanilla mousse on top, and repeat with the remaining layers. Finish with a layer of dark chocolate ganache on the top.
4. Garnish
Garnish the top of the dessert with fresh berries and mint leaves. Slice and serve.

5. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
6. Chill the Ganache
Let the ganache cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until it is firm enough to scoop.
7. Form the Truffles
Using a melon baller or small scoop, scoop out portions of the ganache and roll them into balls with your hands. Place the truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Coat the Truffles
Roll the truffles in cocoa powder or powdered sugar to coat. Return to the refrigerator to set for another 30 minutes.
