I made this delicious chocolate cake with dark chocolate mousse and covered it with grated dark chocolate which gave me the ultimate chocolate cake taste you'll adore this cake, it is easy and simple to make. The cake is super moist and full of chocolate flavour with loads of chocolate mousse, making it nice and giving it the best flavor and texture. It just about melts in your mouth and believe me the whole combination is out of this world good! I can’t wait for you to try it!
