Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chocolate Cake Layers:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease three 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth and well combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool completely on wire racks.
2. Prepare the Chocolate Mousse:
- Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- In a small saucepan, bloom the gelatin in cold water, then heat gently until dissolved.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy, then gradually add the sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Fold the whipped cream, melted chocolate, and dissolved gelatin into the beaten egg whites until well combined.
3. Assemble the Cake:
- Place one layer of chocolate cake on a serving platter and spread a layer of chocolate mousse on top.
- Repeat with the remaining cake layers and mousse, ending with a layer of mousse on top.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or until the mousse is set.
4. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until simmering.
- Pour the hot cream over the semi-sweet chocolate and let it sit for a few minutes.
- Stir the mixture until smooth and glossy, then let it cool slightly.
5. Finish and Serve:
- Pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the chilled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
- Use a spatula to spread the ganache evenly over the top of the cake.
- Refrigerate the cake for another hour to set the ganache before serving.
