Directions

Serving Size: 16 servings

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Grease two 9” (22cm) cake pans.
  • Beat eggs, sugar and vanilla until combined. Add oil and buttermilk. Add next 4 ingredients. Mix until well combined. Carefully fold in boiling water until batter is smooth and mixture is quite thin. Pour into prepared pans. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in centre of cake comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool on a wire rack.
  • Mousse: Whip cream in a large bowl until thick and cream holds its shape. Beat in icing sugar and vanilla. Fold in melted and cooled chocolate chips. Do not over mix. Mousse should have a rippled effect.
  • Assembly: Place one layer of cake on serving platter. Spread with about 1 cup (250 mL) of mousse. Place second layer on top. Ice with remaining mousse. Refrigerate until ready to eat.
