1️⃣ Bake the Chocolate Sponge:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla, then mix in dry ingredients alternately with milk. Pour into a greased cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Let cool.
2️⃣ Prepare the Mousse:
Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form. Gently fold in melted chocolate until smooth and creamy.
3️⃣ Assemble the Cake:
Slice the sponge in half, spread a thick layer of chocolate mousse, and place the second layer on top. Chill for 30 minutes.
4️⃣ Make the Ganache & Finish:
Heat heavy cream until warm, then pour over chopped chocolate. Stir until smooth and glossy. Pour over the cake, letting it cascade down the sides.
