Servings: 12

 

Ingredients:

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon chocolate extract, you can also use vanilla extract

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

8 oz dark chocolate chips, any other chocolate will do

2 eggs

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup light olive oil

4 tablespoons powdered sugar, more if you like

8 oz reduced fat cream cheese

1 cup reduced fat milk

1 cup strong brewed coffee

3/4 cup unrefined sugar, you can add more but I think this is plenty.

2 cups whole wheat pastry flour

Mousse

Equipment:

springform pan

bowl

oven

frying pan

wire rack

Cooking instruction summary:

Grease and flour a 9 inch springform pan and set aside. (You can also use two 9 inch round cake pans). Preheat oven to 350 F.In a bowl mix all the wet cake ingredients. Add dry ingredients to the bowl and combine. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for about 50- 60 minutes or until tester comes out clean (I baked mine for about 50 minutes).Remove cake from the oven and cool on a wire rack completely.For the mousse. In a bowl beat the cream until foamy and gradually pour in the sugar and cocoa powder beating until stiff peaks form.For the frosting. In another bowl beat the cream cheese, and sugar. Over medium to high heat bring heavy cream to a boil. Turn of heat and add chocolate chips. Blend together until chips are melted. Pour the melted chocolate into the cheese mixture and combine. Let it sit for 30-40 minutes until if firms up a bit. You can place the mixture in the fridge to speed up the process. (If the mixture does not firm up you can add more powdered sugar but I don't think it will be neccessary)To assemble the cake. Because I baked the cake in a 9 inch springform pan rather than in two 9 inch pans I divided the cake in two layers by cutting it horizontally.Spread the mouse over one cake layer. Top with second cake layer and frost the top and sides with the chocolate frosting.Decorate as desired.

Food Joke

The dinner party Freda and Moshe Levy won 8 million pounds in the National Lottery. They immediately went out to begin a life of living in luxury. They bought a luxurious mansion in Northwood, surrounded themselves with all the material wealth imaginable and decided to hire a butler. After much searching, they found the perfect one. One day, they instructed the butler to set up a dinner for four because they were inviting their friends, the Cohens, over for dinner and they will be going out for the day. When they returned that evening, they found the table set for six. When they asked the butler why six places were set when they specifically instructed him to set the table for four, the butler replied: "The Cohens called and said that they were bringing the Bagels."
