Ingredients

For the sponge cake:

2 eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the mousse:

1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the mirror glaze:

1/4 cup white chocolate chips
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon gelatin powder
Food coloring (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Make the sponge cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix until combined. Stir in the oil and vanilla extract. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 2: Make the mousse

In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk. Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Add the melted chocolate to the cream mixture, and whisk until combined. Stir in the vanilla extract. Transfer the mousse to the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.

Step 3: Assemble the cake

Once the mousse is chilled, spread it evenly over the cooled sponge cake. Place the cake in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

Step 4: Make the mirror glaze

Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. In a separate bowl, combine the light corn syrup and water. Add the melted chocolate to the corn syrup mixture, and whisk until combined. Dissolve the gelatin powder in 2 tablespoons of hot water, and add it to the glaze mixture. Whisk until combined. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring.

Step 5: Glaze the cake

Remove the cake from the refrigerator, and pour the glaze over the top. Spread it evenly with an offset spatula. Place the cake in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.
