Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Cake

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups wheat flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

Chocolate Syrup

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder

Passion Fruit Mousse

  • 1 cup concentrated passion fruit juice
  • 1 can condensed milk (approximately 395g)
  • ½ box cream (about 100 ml)
  • 1 cup powdered milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a baking mold thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, melted butter, and milk until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually sift in the wheat flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder into the wet mixture, gently folding to combine without overmixing to avoid a dense cake.
  4. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared mold and bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is fully cooked.
  5. Prepare Chocolate Syrup: While the cake is baking, combine milk, sugar, and cocoa powder in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until warm and the sugar has dissolved completely.
  6. Soak the Cake: Once the cake is baked and slightly cooled, poke multiple holes across the surface using a skewer or fork. Slowly pour the warm chocolate syrup evenly over the cake to soak it thoroughly for maximum moisture and flavor infusion.
  7. Make Passion Fruit Mousse: In a blender, combine the concentrated passion fruit juice, condensed milk, cream, and powdered milk. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring the mixture is light and airy.
  8. Assemble the Cake: Evenly spread the prepared passion fruit mousse over the soaked cake, covering the entire surface to create a thick layer of mousse.
  9. Chill to Set: Place the assembled cake in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours, or until the mousse layer is firm and set, enhancing the flavors and texture.
  10. Serve: Once chilled and set, slice the cake and serve each piece chilled for the best taste and texture experience.

Notes

  • The cake is best served chilled to enjoy the contrasting textures of moist cake and creamy mousse.
  • Ensure the chocolate syrup is warm, not hot, when pouring over the cake to prevent it from becoming too soggy.
  • Use fresh or high-quality concentrated passion fruit juice for a vibrant and tangy mousse.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for optimal freshness.
