Materials

For the Cake:

  • - 4 eggs
  • - 1 cup of sugar
  • - 1/2 cup of melted butter
  • - 1 cup of milk
  • - 2 cups of wheat flour
  • - 1/2 cup of cocoa powder
  • - 1 tablespoon of baking powder

For the Chocolate Syrup:

  • - 1 cup of milk
  • - 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • - 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder

For the Passion Fruit Mousse:

  • - 1 cup of concentrated passion fruit juice
  • - 1 can of condensed milk
  • - 1/2 box of cream
  • - 1 cup of powdered milk

Instructions

Preparing the Cake:

  • **Mix Wet Ingredients**: In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, melted butter, and milk. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • **Add Dry Ingredients**: Gradually add the wheat flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder to the wet mixture. Continue mixing until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
  • **Bake**: Grease a baking mold with butter and pour the batter into the mold. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • **Prepare Chocolate Syrup**: While the cake is baking, prepare the syrup by mixing the milk, sugar, and cocoa powder in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
  • **Soak the Cake**: Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. While still warm, poke holes all over the cake with a skewer or fork, and pour the chocolate syrup evenly over the top to soak the cake.

Preparing the Mousse:

  • **Blend the Mousse**: In a blender, combine the passion fruit juice, condensed milk, cream, and powdered milk. Blend until the mixture is very creamy and smooth.
  • **Add Mousse to Cake**: Pour the passion fruit mousse over the soaked chocolate cake, spreading it evenly.
  • **Chill**: Place the cake in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours to allow the mousse to set.
