निर्देश

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spray a 10-inch springform pan with cooking spray.

For the chocolate cake: Cut the butter into tablespoon-sized pieces. Add the butter and chopped chocolate to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute until the butter and chocolate are melted, stirring every 15 seconds.

Add the sugar, vanilla and salt to the chocolate mixture. Whisk to combine.

Add the eggs one at a time, whisking each until fully incorporated.

Using a rubber spatula, mix in the gluten-free flour until fully combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth into an even layer. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until set and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack. Let the cake cool completely before topping with the mousse.

For the chocolate mousse: Add the chopped chocolate to a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute until the chocolate is melted, stirring every 15 seconds.

Pour the melted chocolate into the bowl of a stand mixer or a hand mixer. Add the powdered sugar, cream cheese and vanilla and mix until completely smooth, scraping down the sides and bottom 1-2 times.

With the mixer running on low, slowly pour in the heavy cream. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl, then increase the speed to medium-high and whip until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Spread the mousse on top of the cooled chocolate cake. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to 1 day.

For the whipped cream topping: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or using a hand mixer, whip together the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 4-5 minutes.

Spread the whipped cream over the mousse cake. Garnish with chocolate shavings.

Run a thin knife around the edge of the cake and carefully open the springform pan. Slice and serve.
