How to Make The Ultimate Chocolate Mousse Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch springform pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the non-dairy butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the sugar mixture, beating until combined.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the egg mixture to the butter mixture, beating until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the melted chocolate until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan before removing the sides and serving. Top with a dollop of non-dairy whipped cream (optional).
