How to Make 3 Layer Chocolate Cake With Chocolate Mousse Filling Gluten Fre

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour blend, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Divide batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
  8. While cakes cool, prepare the chocolate mousse filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.
  9. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  10. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cocoa mixture until combined.
  11. Once cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of chocolate mousse over the cake layer.
  12. Top with the second cake layer and repeat with another layer of mousse.
  13. Place the final cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining mousse.
  14. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the mousse to set.
