Mini Triple Chocolate Mousse  Cakes!

Someone just asked me for this recipe. This one is better than the one I sent you, so I’m going to post it for everyone 🙂

This is a layered cake ( as you can see it has 3 sections)

Dark Chocolate Cake

• Unsalted butter, softened, to grease
• Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
• 83 g (2/3 cup) plain (all-purpose) flour
• 39 g (1/3 cup) unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¾ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 150 g (2/3 cup) caster (superfine granules) sugar
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 59 ml (¼ cup/4 tablespoons) whole milk
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 59 ml (¼ cup/4 tablespoons) water

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 180° C (350°).  Line a baking sheet with non-stick baking paper.  Place the ramekins on the lined baking sheet.  Using a small pastry brush, coat the bottom and sides of each ramekin with unsalted butter; dust liberally with unsweetened cocoa powder, set-aside.
2. Using a fine mesh sieve, sift the flour, Dutch-process cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt into the bowl of electric stand mixer. Add the sugar; using a whisk, whisk together to well combine.
3. Attach the bowl to the mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.  Add the egg, milk, oil, vanilla, and water; mix on medium-low speed until combined, about 3 minutes.
4. Divide batter evenly among prepared ramekins.  Return ramekins to lined baking sheet, spacing one-inch apart.
5. Bake until a cake tester inserted in the centre of the cakes comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
6. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.  Unmold cakes.
7. Using a serrated knife, carefully trim each cake to 2.5-cm (1-inch) high. Transfer to paper lined baking sheet, cut side down.
8. Cut eight 25.4-by-10.16-cm (10¾-inch-by-4-inch) strips of non-stick baking paper.  Wrap a paper collar around the base of each cake, keeping the bottom flush with baking sheet. Secure each collar with tape, set-aside.
