EASY Eggless Mousse Cake for Arvind’s Birthday
It was Arvind’s birthday on Monday and as part of the tradition that we have been following for a while now, I baked a cake for him. He loves white chocolate a lot. So, every year I used to prepare something that showcases the white chocolate. But when you become a parent and your toddler shows interest in food, somehow the priority shifts towards the kid’s palate. That little fella only eats brown milk chocolate cake. He will eat all kind of chocolates but with cake, if it’s not brown, it’s not approved by him. So, we figured, making just a white chocolate cake is not an option this year.
Layering the Mousse
I have made mousse several times in the past but a mousse cake sounded a little intimidating. This year, my goal is to get out of my comfort zone. And that’s what I did! I went with three chocolate flavors - milk, white and butterscotch. The preparation of the three layers is easy. It’s just repeating the process three times with the exact same ratio. Then let it set in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. Taking the cake out of the pan was not very difficult either, although I did say a little prayer and crossed my fingers! The mousse was set perfectly. It looked pretty neat and I did my happy dance. The mousse cake phobia is out of my life.
KEY NOTES:
For the mousse cake, it is always recommended to use a springform pan. It is easy to take the cake out without any risk of damage. If you do not have a springform pan, make sure you line the cake pan with parchment paper at the bottom of the pan as well as the sides. The steps might look long but once you have read it, you will understand that it’s a pretty easy process. Since there are three layers involved, it will take time and might need a lot of cleaning up in between, unless you are using multiple mixing bowls.
