Ingredients
For chocolate sponge

• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup + 3 tblspn sugar
• 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cocoa
• 1 tspn baking powder
• 2 tblspn oil
• 1 tspn vanilla essence

For Mousse

• 200 grm cooking chocolate
• 1 n 1/2 cup whip cream
• 4 tblsp icing sugar
• 2 tblspn gelatine

I used 3/4 of milk chocolate chip and 1/4 cooking chocolate

Method
For Cake

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degree.
2. Sieve together dry ingredients and keep it aside.
3. In a a large bowl beat together eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.Then add oil and fold in dry ingredients and pour it in a large sheet cake pan and bake it for 20 minutes or until the tooth pick inserted comes out clean.Let it cool

For mousse

1. Take 4 tblspn water and sprinkle gelatine over it.Let it bloom.
2. Melt the chocolate using double boiling method.Let it temper.
3. Whip the cream,icing sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
4. Reserve some chocolates for ganache
5. Now fold in slowly the cream and chocolate without knocking the air.Don’t add all the whip cr
6. eam at one go.Stop adding whip cream when you get that desired colour of the mousse.(If you want dark chocolate colour all whip cream will not be needed)
7. Microwave the gelatin for 30sec and stir it well. Add two tspn of this gelatine to the mousse and fold well.(We only need this to set the mousse

Assembling

1. First cut a thin strip of butter paper and arrange it in sides of spring form pan.This will help the cake to come out clean from the sides.
2. Layer the cake first then pour the mousse and make it even and keep it in freezer for 1/2 an hour
3. Add 1/2 tspn of gelatine to the ganache and pour it over the mousse.If you feel like ganache is less melt some more chocolate and mix with this.Let it set in refrigerator for 4 to 5 hours

The heavenly chocolate yumminess is ready to serve now
