Ingredients:

For the Cake Batter:

• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 3 eggs
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons sugar

For the Chocolate Mousse:

• 1/2 cup sugar (tea)
• 230 g semisweet chocolate, chopped
• Bittersweet Chocolate Shavings for decoration
• 1 can fresh cream
• 5 tablespoons water
• 1/2 packet (6 g) flavorless powdered gelatin
• 3 egg whites

Instructions:

Cake Batter:

1. In a blender, beat the eggs until they double in volume.
2. Add the sugar and continue beating until it becomes fluffy.
3. Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder to obtain a cake batter.
4. Pour the batter into a greased and floured removable-bottom mold.
5. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for 20 minutes.
6. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Chocolate Mousse:

1. In a saucepan, melt the chocolate in a double boiler for a few minutes.
2. Add the fresh cream, mix well until smooth and creamy, and set aside.
3. In another saucepan, add water to the gelatin and heat in a double boiler until it dissolves completely.
4. Add the dissolved gelatin to the creamy chocolate mixture, mix well, and set aside.
5. In another saucepan, mix the egg whites and sugar, and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for about 3 minutes, removing the saucepan from the heat briefly every minute to prevent the egg whites from cooking.
6. Transfer the egg whites to a mixer and beat them until they double in volume.
7. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the creamy chocolate mixture.
8. Cover the cake batter with the Chocolate Mousse and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
9. Unmold from the removable-bottom mold just before serving.
