I had never liked chocolate cake, but a few days ago I saw a recipe online by someone name Shinee from Sweet & Savory, the cake looked so delicious, too delicious that I couldn’t wait any longer to make it today. Here is the cake I made, it is really moist and soft, even someone like me enjoyed it so much! The only change I will make to this recipe will be cut some of the sugar if you’re Chinese who doesn’t like really sweet food. I strongly recommend it to chocolate lovers!

10. Cut each of the cake into two equal pieces. If your cake has a small hump, cut the top off. Place about 1/4 of the mouse on the first cake layer, then put the next layer of the cake with another quarter of the mouse, and continue to build the cake. Use a spatula to smooth the surface of the cake. Leave the Cake in refrigerator at least 2 hours or overnight.

11. Once the cake cools, pour the cream into a small sauce pan bring it to bubble but not boil. Pour hot cream into the chocolate mixture, then mix until smooth. Stir in butter to add some luster.

12. Pour the chocolate mixture to the cake and use the spatula to smooth the surface.

 

 

 

我 從不喜歡巧克力蛋糕，但幾天前看到了有个叫Shinee的人的蛋糕看起來很可口，美味，我今天迫不及待的做了。這裡是我做的蛋糕，真的是又濕潤又柔軟，即使像我這樣的人也吃的津津有味 ！如果你是中國人的话建议少放些糖。我这次只放了一杯糖，还是觉的太甜。 我強烈推薦它給巧克力愛好者 ！

6.與此同時，讓我們準備巧克力慕斯餡。在一隻小碗，溶解可哥粉和即溶濃咖啡粉在熱水裡。

12.一旦蛋糕冷卻，放巧克力在一個小鍋裡，把奶油烧到冒小泡，注意不要燒開。熱奶油倒入巧克力混合。然後混勻直至表面光滑。拌入黃油來添加一些亮度。

13.当朱古力浆还没凝固时倒蛋糕上抹平，如果你想要光滑釉你可以讓它冷卻一点后再像糖浆一样涂上去。
