How to Make Frozen Chocolate Mousse Cake

  1. Line an ungreased 20cm round cake pan with greaseproof paper. Do not grease the paper.
  2. Melt 200g of dark chocolate and 100g of unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, or in a microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  3. Allow the chocolate mixture to cool to room temperature.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk 4 large eggs and 150g of granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until thick and pale. Gently fold in 50g of sifted all-purpose flour.
  5. Gently fold in the cooled chocolate mixture until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until the cake is crusty on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
  8. Cover the cake pan tightly with foil and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  9. Before serving, briefly submerge the cake pan in hot water to loosen the cake. Invert the cake onto a serving dish. Fill the center with fresh berries if desired.
  10. For the berry sauce: Combine 250g mixed berries (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries) and 50g of icing sugar in a blender or food processor until smooth. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds (optional).
  11. Pour the berry sauce over slices of the frozen chocolate cake and serve immediately. Mmm!
