Method

Cake Preparation

1

Melt Chocolate and Butter

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until smooth.

2

Combine Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Add the melted chocolate mixture and vanilla extract, and mix until combined. Stir in the salt.

3

Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch round cake pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let it cool completely.

Peanut Butter Mousse Preparation

4

Mix Peanut Butter and Cream Cheese

In a mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter and cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

5

Whip the Cream

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until no streaks remain.

Salted Caramel Preparation

6

Make Caramel

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar until it turns amber in color, stirring constantly. Be careful not to burn it.

7

Add Butter and Cream

Once the sugar is melted, carefully add the butter and heavy cream, stirring continuously until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the sea salt.
