RASPBERRY WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE
Steps:
- Make the white chocolate mousse:
- In a bowl whisk together well the yolks, the sugar, and a pinch of salt, add the cornstarch, sifted, and whisk the mixture until it is just combined. Add the milk, scalded, in a stream, whisking, transfer the mixture to a heavy saucepan, and boil it, whisking, for 1 minute, or until it is very thick and smooth. Strain the pastry cream through a fine sieve into a bowl, stir in vanilla and the butter, and chill the pastry cream, its surface covered with plastic wrap, until it is cooled completely. In a metal bowl set over barely simmering water melt the white chocolate, stirring occasionally, and let it cool to lukewarm. In a large bowl whisk together the white chocolate and 1 cup of the pastry cream, reserving the remaining pastry cream for the raspberry mousse, until the mixture is combined well. In a bowl with an electric mixer beat the heavy cream until it holds soft peaks, whisk one fourth of it into the white chocolate mixture, and fold in the remaining whipped cream gently but thoroughly.
- Line the sides of an oiled 9 1/2-inch springform pan as smoothly as possible with pieces of plastic wrap (the plastic wrap prevents the filling from discoloring and makes unmolding the cake easier), letting the excess hang over the side, and put an 8-inch cardboard round in the bottom of the pan. Invert the top layer of the génoise onto the round, brush the cake with some of the framboise, and spread it evenly with half the white chocolate mousse (about 2 cups). Invert the middle layer of the génoise onto the mousse, brush it with some of the remaining framboise, and chill the cake and the remaining white chocolate mousse while preparing the raspberry mousse.
- Make the raspberry mousse:
- In a blender or food processor purée the raspberries with the reserved syrup and strain the purée through a fine sieve set over a metal bowl, pressing hard on the solids. In a small saucepan sprinkle the gelatin over the framboise and let it soften for 1 minute. Heat the mixture over moderately low heat, stirring, until the gelatin is dissolved and whisk it into the purée. Whisk the reserved pastry cream into the raspberry mixture, whisking until it is smooth, set the bowl in a larger bowl of ice and cold water, and whisk the mixture until it is the consistency of raw egg white. Remove the bowl from the ice water and in a bowl with an electric mixer beat the heavy cream until it holds soft peaks. Whisk one fourth of the whipped cream into the raspberry mixture and fold in the remaining whipped cream gently but thoroughly.
- Spread about 1 cup of the raspberry mousse evenly over the middle layer of génoise in the pan, arrange some of the raspberries neatly around the edge of the pan, and continue to arrange the raspberries in concentric circles until the surface of the mousse is covered. Spread the remaining raspberry mousse over the raspberries, invert the third layer of génoise onto the mouse, and brush it with the remaining framboise. Spread the remaining white chocolate mousse over the génoise (the pan will be completely full) and chill the cake, its surface covered with a sheet of wax paper, for at least 6 hours or overnight. Remove the side of the pan, peel the plastic wrap carefully from the side of the cake, and transfer the cake with a spatula to a serving plate.
- Garnish the cake:
- Arrange some of the raspberries around the top edge of the cake, mound the white chocolate curls in the center, and garnish the bottom edge of the cake with the remaining raspberries and the mint sprigs.
- Make the white chocolate génoise:
- Line the bottom of a greased 8 1/2-inch springform pan with wax paper, grease the paper, and dust the pan with flour, knocking out the excess. In a metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water melt the white chocolate with the butter, the vanilla, and 3 tablespoons water, stirring until the mixture is smooth. Remove the bowl from the heat and let the mixture cool. Into a bowl sift together the flour and the salt. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat the eggs with the sugar on high speed for 5 minutes, or until the mixture is triple in volume and forms a ribbon when the beaters are lifted. Fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture until the batter is just combined and fold in the white chocolate mixture gently but thoroughly. Pour the batter into the pan, smoothing the top, and bake the cake in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 25 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Transfer the cake to a rack, run a sharp knife around the edge, and remove the side of the pan. Invert the cake onto another rack and remove the wax paper. Reinvert the cake onto the rack and let it cool completely.
DECADENT DARK CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE
A recipe from Martha Stewart Desserts, that I added a Raspberry glaze to. She also calls for both light and dark chocolate but I think keeping it all-dark goes better with the Raspberry.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F Butter a 9-inch round cake pan. Dust the pan with flour and tap out the excess.
- Whisk together the flour and cocoa powder in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Fill a pot one-third full with water and bring to a simmer. Combine the eggs and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer. Place the bowl over the simmering water and whisk until the mixture is warm to the touch. Transfer the bowl to the mixer stand and, using the whisk attachment, beat on medium speed until the mixture triples in volume and forms a thick ribbon when the whisk is lifted, about 8 minutes. Using a large rubber spatula, gently fold in the flour mixture. Fold in the melted butter. Scrape the batter into the pan and smooth the top.
- Bake the cake for 20 to 25 minutes, until it has pulled away from the side of the pan and the top springs back when lightly touched. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes. Unmold the cake on a rack and cool completely, right side up.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, using the whisk attachment, beat 2 1/2 cups of the heavy cream to soft peaks. Scrape half of the whipped cream into a medium bowl. Cover both bowls and refrigerate.
- Place the dark chocolate in a large bowls. Bring the remaining 1 cup cream to a boil in a small saucepan. Pour the hot cream over the dark chocolate and set aside till it melts. Once it's nearly melted start gently the mixture until smooth.
- Let the chocolate mixtures cool for 10 minutes, then fold the chocolate into the remaining whipped cream.
- Combine 1/4 cup water and 1/2 cup sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then mix in the Raspberry Liqueur. Let the syrup cool to room temperature.
- Using a serrated knife, slice the cake horizontally in half. Cup a strip of parchment paper to line the inside of a 9x4-inch cake ring. Line the mold with the strip and place it on a serving plate. Place a 9-inch cardboard cake round in the bottom of the cake ring. Place the bottom cake round, cut side up, in the ring. Brush the cake generously with the Raspberry syrup. Scrape the dark chocolate mousse onto the cake and smooth it into an even layer. Top with the second cake round, cut side down. Brush the cake generously with Raspberry syrup. Chill the cake for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
- To unmold the cake, lift it off the plate, holding it with your palm against the cardboard round. Using a hairdryer or warm damp towel, briefly warm the cake ring mold. Lift off the ring mold and peel off the parchment strip. Allow the cake to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Firstly, this is not as difficult as it looks . I have included many directions, but don't let that put you off. They are to ensure that the recipe is clear & easy to follow.
- Raspberry jelly palette needs to be made a day in advance.
- Use 25cm (must be springform) tin.
- For the palette soak gelatine in cold water for about 5 minutes, then squeeze out excess water. In small saucepan, bring raspberry puree to simmer. Remove from heat, add gelatine & stir to dissolve. Cool to room temperature, pour into a plastic-wrap lined 25cm cake tin, refrigerate to set. Freeze set jelly palette until frozen.
- For sponge, using electric mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually add 50 grms sugar & continue to beat until soft peaks form. Decrease speed to medium, add yolks & beat until just combined, then fold through flour. Spoon into greased & lined cake tin (as used for jelly palette). Smooth out top or it will be uneven. Bake for 20-25 min at 175°C Coolon wire rack. Make two of these.
- Make sugar syrup by combining 60 grms sugar & 100 mls of water. Stir over heat until sugar dissolves, then cool. Set aside.
- To make Italian meringue, place sugar & just enough water to cover it in small saucepan. Boil on medium heat to dissolve sugar then boil until sugar syrup registers soft ball stage, (121C) on candy thermometer.
- While sugar is cooking, using electric mixer beat egg whites until soft peaks form, then greadually add extra sugar. To this, in a very thin stream, add the hot syrup. Continue to beat until mixtue is thick & cool.
- To make raspberry mousse, soak gelatine leaves in cold water. Squeeze out excess water. Combine gelatine & a 1/4 of puree in small saucepan & dissolve gelatine.
- Then transfer to a large bowl, add the remaining puree. Fold in Italian meringue, then carefully fold in the whipped cream.
- Reline cake tin with parchment coming up well above the sides. Place one sponge on base, brush with half the syrup, then pour in half of the raspberry mousse. Place second sponge on top & brush with remaining syrup. Then pour a very thin layer of mousse over sponge. Remove plastic from jelly palette & place over mousse, press down slightly. Pour remaining mousse over top of jelly palette.Spread mousse evely over top. Some will pour down the side of cake which will help when you come to decorate the cake. Refrigerate 6 hrs or overnight.
- Thinly spread melted white chocolate over baking paper. Allow to set slightly. While chocolate is still a little soft, cut planks about 5cm wide & high enough to go over the top of cake. Allow chocolate to set. Make enough planks to go right aroung sides of cake & a few spare in case of an accident.
- Gently remove ring from cake & peel off paper. Place cake on serving plate. Press chocolate planks, slightly overlapping around sides of cake. Then fill cake with raspberries. Then watch everyones face when you bring it out.
- Cake can be made days ahead & keeps very well. If raspberries are not in season use frozen. To decorate top of cake a little more sweetened puree can be made & spread on top insted of the fresh raspberries.
