It’s the perfect contrast to the chewy, fudgy brownie base, and the juicy berries embedded in the raspberry layer! Of course I couldn’t let my tart leave the house naked, so it’s covered in a glossy chocolate ganache that drips just a bit down the sides. This stunning Chocolate Raspberry Mousse Cake has a moist, fudgy brownie base, three layers of light mousse—chocolate, raspberry, and vanilla, and then a glossy topping of chocolate and a tangle of raspberries and chocolate curls on top.

I was so obsessed with the honey mousse I made for these Honey Pots with Honey Mousse, I couldn’t stop thinking of ways to use that quick and easy mousse in other recipes. The cake will still unmold, but the outside might not be as neat and clean. Don’t miss our collection of Fun Valentine’s Day Dessert Ideas – see the whole web story here! It turns out it’s easy to adapt that mousse for other flavors, so I made a few tweaks and soon found myself with chocolate, raspberry, and vanilla bean variations. (That should be the tagline of my site, yes?) Enjoy! Recipe Notes: if you can’t find quality fresh raspberries, you can use frozen to make the puree, and just omit the fresh berries in the mousse layer and on top. They’re inexpensive and very handy for lots of kitchen projects, but if you don’t have them, you can use waxed paper instead. Perfect for any occasion! I don’t go around calling things “food porn on a regular basis, so instead, can we just agree that this cake is, for lack of a better term, a sexy beast?
