Wow, wow, wow! Chocolate cake with strawberry mousse filling. This ethereal, light as air dessert is the cake version of a chocolate covered strawberry. Can you believe it tastes even better than it looks? And it looks gorgeous! Show
The classic flavor combination of chocolate and strawberry is celebrated in this centerpiece-worthy cake. The striking pink color of the strawberry mousse is offset beautifully by the dark chocolate cake layers. Although the beauty of this cake is undeniable, as always, flavor comes first. A insipid strawberry filling could easily be overwhelmed by the chocolate cake. The chocolate should enhance, not bury, the berry flavor. Fresh strawberries are so delicious to eat because they’re super-juicy. While that’s a good thing when you want to eat a fresh berry, it’s a problem when you want to make a strawberry-flavored dessert. All that moisture from fresh berries can be hard to incorporate into a cake filling that needs to stay in the cake and deliver deep flavor. Freeze dried strawberries are simply berries with all the moisture removed. Without extra water, they have a concentrated flavor. By using both fresh and dried strawberries we have a mousse that’s thick enough to use as a cake filling and has a true strawberry flavor. Helpful tips for making Chocolate Strawberry Mousse Cake:
