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.
LISA'S WHITE CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY MOUSSE CAKE
I first made this recipe for my mother in law's birthday - and now almost every time a birthday rolls around in my family, I get a request for this cake. It is quite a bit of work, but when you taste it, it's worth it! I recommend making the mousse the night before, so it has enough time to set.

Steps:
- For the Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease and flour 2 round 8" pans.
- Beat flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, shortening, milk and vanilla in a large mixing bowl on low speed, scraping the bowl occasionally, for about 30 seconds.
- Then, beat on high speed for about 2 minutes.
- Add egg whites; beat on high speed 2 minutes longer.
- Fold in white chocolate.
- Pour into pans.
- Bake until wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean- 30 to 35 minutes.
- Allow cakes to cool completely, and then carefully slice each in half, lengthwise.
- For the Mousse (I recommend making the night before): Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler. Set aside.
- Puree fresh strawberries.
- Place the berries in a small saucepan, add the preserves, and cook over medium heat (stirring constantly) until thickened, or just before boiling.
- Remove from heat, and allow to cool slightly.
- Fold into melted chocolate.
- Allow the strawberry chocolate mixture to cool until tepid.
- Then gently fold in whipped cream, followed by gently folding in egg whites.
- Cover and refrigerate 8 hours.
- For the Icing: In a medium saucepan, combine melted chocolate and flour.
- Blend in milk, and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick (about the consistency of melted chocolate alone).
- Cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together sugar, butter and vanilla.
- Beat until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add completely cooled chocolate mixture.
- Beat until well blended, but DO NOT over beat, or it will become runny.
- To Assemble Cake: Spread set mousse between layers of cake (there will be three layers of mousse).
- Make sure not to have any mousse leaking out of the sides, or it will make icing the cake difficult.
- After the mousse is between the layers, put the cake in the freezer.
- In the meantime, melt the 3 ounces of chocolate.
- Arrange the thinly sliced strawberries on a pan that has been covered with saran wrap.
- Drizzle the chocolate in thin ribbons, in all directions over the strawberries, until they are nicely covered (but not completely).
- Take the cake out of the freezer, and place the pan of strawberries in the freezer.
- Ice the cake generously with the white chocolate icing using a spatula, so it forms soft peaks all over the cake.
- Once the cake is completely iced, take the strawberries out of the freezer.
- Arrange them around the perimeter of the top of the cake, points inward, and around the bottom of the cake, points upward.
- Use five strawberries to form a "flower" in the middle of the cake, if desired.

3-LAYER FUDGE CAKE WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE FILLING
I was looking for a beautiful, rich cake to make for Christmas this year and this was exactly what I was looking for! I found this recipe online and it originally came from Bon Appetit. I wanted something chocolate and peppermint to go with the season. It turned out to be the best cake I've ever made! My family wants it to be a tradition for me to make this cake every Christmas from now on. I hope it turns out just as wonderful for you as it did for me! It takes time but it is well worth it. The cooking/preparation time does not include the hours it needs to cool in between.

Categories dessert
Time 4h30m
Yield One 9-inch layer cake
Number Of Ingredients 24
Steps:
- For the buttercream: Combine the sugar and egg whites in a double boiler and heat to 120 degrees F.
- Transfer the egg white mixture to a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Add the lemon juice and salt and beat on high speed until completely cooled, about 15 minutes. Add the butter piece by piece and whip until light fluffy, about 10 minutes. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a round tip and reserve the rest.
- For the vanilla bean white chocolate mousse: Whip the egg yolks on high speed in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment until light and foamy, 3 to 4 minutes. Heat the sugar, vanilla bean paste and water to 120 degrees C in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add the sugar syrup to the whipping yolks and beat until cool, about 15 minutes. Once cooled, fold in the whipped cream.
- Melt the white chocolate over a double boiler until 110 degrees F., about 10 minutes. Add the melted chocolate to the egg and cream mixture and fold to combine. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a round tip and reserve the rest.
- For the vanilla syrup: Combine the vanilla bean paste, sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until the sugar is dissolved. Cool completely.
- To assemble the cake: Split the cake rounds in half to make 4 layers. Brush the top of each with 3 tablespoons of the vanilla syrup. Place 1 round on desired platter and pipe the buttercream around the top edge of the cake to create a dam. Fill the dam with a layer of the white chocolate mousse. Top with a second cake round and repeat piping and filling with the remaining layers, leaving the top undecorated. Place the stack in the freezer until firm, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Remove from the freezer and lightly frost the whole cake with some of the buttercream. Place the cake back in the freezer to firm up, another 30 minutes to 1 hour. Frost and decorate the cake as desired with the remaining buttercream and mousse.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter two 9-inch-round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper; butter the parchment and dust the pans with flour, tapping out the excess.
- Whisk 3 cups flour, the baking powder and salt in a bowl until combined. Beat 2 sticks butter and the sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium; beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla. (The mixture may look separated at this point.)
- Mix 1/2 cup water with the cream in a liquid measuring cup or bowl. Beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the cream mixture, beginning and ending with flour, until just smooth.
- Divide the batter between the prepared pans. Bake until the cakes are lightly golden on top and the centers spring back when pressed, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge of the pans and turn the cakes out onto the racks to cool completely. Remove the parchment. Trim the tops of the cakes with a long serrated knife to make them level, if desired.

Tips:
- Use high-quality white chocolate. This will ensure that your mousse cake has a rich, creamy flavor.
- Make sure the heavy cream is cold before whipping it. This will help it whip up more quickly and easily.
- Don't overbeat the whipped cream. If you do, it will become grainy and lose its light and fluffy texture.
- Fold the whipped cream into the white chocolate mixture gently. Overmixing can cause the mousse to deflate.
- Chill the mousse cake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set properly.
- Garnish the mousse cake with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or whipped cream. This will add a touch of elegance and make the cake even more delicious.
Conclusion:
White chocolate mousse cake is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking.
