Elsie's Chocolate Mousse Cake image

From a Borden recipe booklet I picked up in 1993. Makes a 9-inch 2 layer cake. A wonderfully light cake in texture with a great chocolate flavor. This is a bit of work with the extra chill times but it is definitely worth it. Remember to store this in the refrigerator.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (18 1/4 ounce) package chocolate cake mix

This cake was a disaster! The mousse was too runny and the cake was dry. I won't be making this again.
