Spiced Chocolate Mousse Cake

Spiced Chocolate Mousse Cake recipe

Ever noticed how chocolate mousse cakes completely melt and fall apart when out of the fridge for longer than 10 minutes?  How annoying! And you try to cut the cake and it either sticks to the knife or turns into a mousse mess? Well I have come up with a spicy chocolate mousse recipe that won’t melt or collapse when you cut it and will keep its shape once sliced.

Additionally to this, the recipe is ever so tasty and has a pleasant hit of complementary spices.

This one definitely exceeded expectations and is a must keep recipe.
