Step by Step guide
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 347°F.

Line the cake pan with parchment paper. Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the chocolate pieces, and stir until the chocolate is melted.
Step 3
Dissolve the coffee in warm water, add vanillin and salt, and mix this into the chocolate mixture.
Step 4
Next, beat six eggs with one cup of sugar for about 5 minutes (they should double in volume). Add the cocoa powder and mix until smooth. Then combine these two mixtures.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 50 minutes.
Step 6
Now for the mousse. Break the white chocolate into pieces and mix it with 3 tablespoons of butter and the baking powder. Microwave for 30–50 minutes, stirring a couple of times during intervals. Meanwhile, beat 4 yolks with two tablespoons of sugar in a heatproof bowl. Place it over a water bath. Keep it over steam for about 5 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and add 1 teaspoon of vanillin and the white chocolate mixture.
Step 7
Pour in 2 tablespoons of cream and mix until smooth. Cool to room temperature.
Step 8
Whip the remaining 1.5 cups of cream to soft peaks. Fold 1/3 of this cream into the chocolate mixture, then fold in the rest.
Step 9
Pour the mousse over the cooled base and refrigerate for 1–2 hours.
Step 10
For decoration, sprinkle with cocoa powder.
