Ingredients

For the Chocolate Cake

• ½ cup All-Purpose Flour (65g)
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• 2½ tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• ½ cup Superfine Sugar (100g)
• ¼ cup Milk (60ml)
• ¼ cup Sunflower Oil (60ml)
• 1 Medium Egg

For the Raspberry Mascarpone Mousse

• 1 cup Mascarpone Cheese (8oz/250g)
• 2 cups Fresh Raspberries (200g), leave some for garnish
• 8 tbsp Powdered Sugar

Instructions

1. For the chocolate cake: Sift the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder into a bowl. Add sugar and mix everything with a wooden spoon. Pour in milk, sunflower oil and the egg. Mix this until well combined.
2. Pour into 8x8 inch (20x20cm) cake pan lined with a sheet of baking paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F/180°C for 15-20 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Let it cool completely before crumbling it with your hands.
3. For the raspberry mousse: Using an electric mixer, combine the berries, mascarpone and powdered sugar until smooth.
4. Fill glasses with layers of the chocolate cake crumb mix and raspberry mousse and garnish to your liking (i.e. fresh berries, chocolate shavings).
5. Eat right away or chilled.

Recipe Notes

1. This recipe is versatile so you can adjust the amounts to your liking - thin the raspberry layer by adding more raspberries or top these with chocolate shavings, fresh raspberries, create more layers or use strawberries.

2. The cake will be enough for 4 glasses (8oz/250ml each). If you don’t use up all the cake, just wrap it in cling film and freeze for later use. In this case divide the raspberry mousse ingredients in half.

3. This recipe can be easily doubled.

4. You can use fresh or frozen raspberries (let them thaw before processing).

5. Powdered sugar – you can increase or decrease the amount of sugar to your liking.

6. Turn this into a no bake dessert by using Oreo cookies instead of baking the cake.
