My chocolate mousse contains melted dark chocolate, butter, sugar, and sour cream and is aerated with freshly whipped cream. The resulting mousse has a decadent chocolate flavor yet a light creamy texture and is stable enough to fill cakes.

Here are the ingredient amounts to make 4.5 cups of mousse (a 50% increase in the amount I showed in the video, which I explained at the very end.)

6 oz (170g) dark chocolate, chopped into small pieces
3 TB (42g) unsalted butter
a couple of big pinches of salt
1 1/2 cups (360g) heavy whipping cream, cold from the fridge
1/2 cup (120g) full-fat sour cream, cold from the fridge
3/4 cup (90g) powdered sugar

Here is the whipped cream recipe for the outside of the cake:
1 1/2 cups (340g) heavy whipping cream, cold
1/4 cup (25g) powdered sugar (or more to taste)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon Sahnesteif (also goes by Whip-it)
(Buy Sahnesteif at Amazon here: https://amzn.to/3A00Rcg)

If you're interested in the chocolate chiffon cake, I've entered it into my Cakeculator.
To make this size of cake, you'll need a recipe for TWO 8-inch layers, which you can then slice in half horizontally to make FOUR thinner layers.
