Ingredients

Scale

Cake

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups wheat flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

Chocolate Syrup

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

Passion Fruit Mousse

  • 1 cup concentrated passion fruit juice
  • 1 can condensed milk
  • ½ box cream (about 100ml)
  • 1 cup powdered milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a baking mold thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, melted butter, and milk. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually sift or add the wheat flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder to the wet ingredients, stirring continuously to achieve a consistent batter without lumps.
  4. Bake the Cake: Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking mold. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, signaling doneness.
  5. Prepare the Chocolate Syrup: In a saucepan over low heat, combine milk, sugar, and cocoa powder. Stir gently and heat until the mixture becomes warm and all the ingredients are well dissolved.
  6. Soak the Cake: Once the cake is baked and slightly cooled, use a skewer or fork to poke holes all over the cake surface. Slowly pour the warm chocolate syrup evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak in thoroughly.
  7. Prepare the Passion Fruit Mousse: In a blender, combine the concentrated passion fruit juice, condensed milk, cream, and powdered milk. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, forming a luscious mousse.
  8. Assemble the Cake: Spread the passion fruit mousse evenly over the top of the soaked chocolate cake.
  9. Chill: Place the assembled cake in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours or until the mousse is set firmly.
  10. Serve: Slice the chilled cake and serve to enjoy the perfect balance of chocolate richness and tropical passion fruit tang.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake is cooled slightly before soaking to avoid syrup absorption issues.
  • You can adjust the sweetness in the mousse by modifying the amount of condensed milk based on preference.
  • Use concentrated passion fruit juice for the best flavor intensity.
  • For a more decadent cake, use cream with higher fat content.
  • This cake is best served chilled to appreciate the mousse texture and flavor contrast.
