    Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake

    Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake is a chocolate lover's dream! It magically creates distinct layers in the cake resulting in a gorgeous cake that looks like it came from a bakery! Easy to put together and bake, you can impress your friends when you tell them you made it yourself!

    Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake

    Today, for #Choctoberfest2016, I am sharing with you one of my newest obsessions! The first time I ever saw this recipe I was impressed by the layers. My first thought was "how" does this happen? You know, the mousse part being at the top of the cake, which is really the bottom of the pan?

    Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake

    When mixing this cake I realized what causes it to layer after getting to the 3rd layer step in adding the batter to the pan. The cream cheese mixture is a very thin mixture that you gently spoon over the top of the other two layers (the chocolate syrup and the cake mix batter). As you spoon, you see the thin liquid slowly start to sink into the cake and it ends up in the bottom of the pan.

    The other very important part is you actually cover the cake pan with aluminum foil before baking and bake it in a water bath. As a cake baker, the thought of covering your cake pan before baking with foil may cause a bit of alarm. After all, we are used to cakes rising slightly above the pan! Go against your instincts here because it works, I promise!

      When putting the water in the pan should the water be cold or hot?

        You should use cold water, you put the water in the pan before it all goes in the oven. Thank you for asking, I will update the instructions to make sure it's in there!
