Ingredients

For the cake layers, you'll need:

2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 cup of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of cocoa powder
2 eggs
1/2 cup of butter, melted
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1 cup of buttermilk

For the chocolate mousse, you'll need:

1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/4 cup of whipping cream
1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips
2 tablespoons of butter
1/4 cup of powdered sugar

Instructions

To make the cake layers, preheat your oven to 350F and grease three 8-inch round cake pans with butter. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and buttermilk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until everything is combined. Divide the batter evenly among the three prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool completely before assembling the cake. To make the chocolate mousse, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the dark chocolate chips in a double boiler over low heat. Once the chips are melted, remove the bowl from the heat and add the butter and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until it forms stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the melted chocolate mixture until everything is combined.

To assemble the cake, place one of the cake layers on a cake stand or plate. Spread 1/3 of the mousse onto the cake layer. Place the second cake layer on top of the mousse and spread another 1/3 of the mousse onto the cake. Place the third cake layer on top of the mousse and spread the remaining mousse onto the top and sides of the cake. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving.
