Chocolate Mousse Cake with Raspberries

This is a DOOZY of a cake - rich chocolate cake, tangy chocolate mousse filling, fresh raspberries all enrobed in rich chocolate buttercream. It's worth the time and effort to make the layer cake, but I bet it could also do well in cupcake or trifle mode.

Cake:
1 3/4 cups (210g) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups (397g) granulated sugar
1 cup (85g) unsweetened cocoa, Dutch-process or natural
​1 1/2 teaspoons espresso powder
1/2 cup (99g) vegetable oil
1 cup (227g) buttermilk or yogurt (Greek or regular; nonfat, low fat, or full fat), at room temperature
1 cup (227g) boiling water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 large eggs, at room temperature

Filling:
2 tablespoons (28g) butter, softened
one 8-ounce package (227g) cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup (113g) confectioners' sugar, divided
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup (113g) semisweet chocolate chips, melted
1 cup (227g) heavy cream
1/2 cup (85g) semisweet chocolate mini chips (optional)
1 1/2 to 2 pints fresh raspberries, washed and dried

Frosting:
16 tablespoons (2 sticks/113g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups (454g) confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/2 cup (43g) unsweetened cocoa, natural or Dutch-process
1/4 cup (57g) milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Make the Cake
Weigh your flour; or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess. In a large mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients in the order listed: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, cocoa, espresso powder. If any of the ingredients look clumpy, especially the cocoa, press them through a sieve.

Combine the oil, buttermilk or yogurt, boiling water and vanilla in a medium bowl or large measuring cup. Add to the dry ingredients and beat at medium speed for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the batter is smooth.

Scrape the sides and bottom of the mixing bowl, then beat in the eggs one at a time. Mix on medium speed for another minute, or until smooth.

Divide the batter among the prepared pans. The total weight of the cake batter will be about 50 ounces (1417g): for two deep 8" layers, use about 25 ounces (709g) batter in each. 

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes for two 8” pans, until the cake just begins to pull away from the edge of the pan, and a tester inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.

Remove from the oven and place on a rack to cool for 15 minutes. Run a table knife around the edge of each pan to free the crust, and turn the cakes onto the rack to cool completely. While the cake layers are cooling, make the filling. 

Tip: wrap the cakes well in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Make the filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, cream cheese, 3/4 cup (85g) of the confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and salt, mixing at medium-low speed until smooth.

Melt the chocolate; a minute or less in the microwave should be sufficient to soften the chips enough that you can stir them until completely melted and smooth. Add the melted chocolate to the bowl and mix on medium-high speed for 1 minute, or until a bit lightened and fluffy.

Beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then add the remaining confectioners’ sugar. Beat just until the cream is stiff; guard against over-beating, which will turn the cream grainy.

Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture; scrape the bowl, and stir to combine any sticky residue. Finally, fold in the chocolate mini chips, if you’re using them.

Tip: cover and store in the refrigerator for up to three days. Let come to room temperature before using.

Make the Frosting
In a large bowl, beat together the shortening, butter, and salt.

Sift the confectioners' sugar and cocoa through a strainer to remove any lumps, and gently beat into the butter mixture alternately with the milk. Add the vanilla. Beat on medium-high speed for 2 minutes, or until fluffy.

Tip: cover and store in the refrigerator for up to three days. Let come to room temperature before using.

Assemble the cake

Split the cake layers horizontally to form 4 layers.

Place the first layer on a serving plate (line the edges with strips of waxed or parchment paper to keep the plate clean), and spread it with one-third of the filling (1 cup; 7 5/8 ounces; 216g). Cut 1/2 pint of raspberries in half lengthwise (rather than around the circumference), and place them over the filling, covering its entire surface. Repeat until all the layers are stacked; place the last layer bottom-side up for a flat surface on top.

Once the layers are assembled with filling and raspberries, place the cake in the refrigerator or freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm it up. This will make frosting the cake much easier since the layers are less likely to slide around and chilling helps prevent the cake from shedding crumbs as you frost. 

Tip: if you haven't already made the frosting, you can make it while the cake chills.

For the best-looking cake, do the frosting in two steps. First, spread a very thin layer of frosting around the sides and across the top; this is called a crumb coat. You should actually be able to see the cake through the frosting in spots, it’s that thin. Refrigerate the cake for 20 minutes to let this layer set up.

Once the cake is chilled, use the remaining frosting to coat it thoroughly and evenly; our cake styling guide offers six pro-style options for "styling" your cake, including a classic look with swoops, and more. 

Refrigerate the cake until ready to serve. Garnish with fresh raspberries just before serving. ​Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; freeze for up to a week.

Notes:
  • Cake: the original recipe offers a few different pan and sizing options. Check these out if you don't have 2 deep 8" round cake pans.
  • Frosting: the original recipe actually does half shortening half butter. Apparently this will be more stable in warm weather.
  • Filling: I left out the optional chocolate chips because I was worried that the texture would be strange. I've cut my gums on tiny chips before.
