Start the mousse by melting the chocolate and cream together on low heat. Don&#8217;t rush this process or be tempted to crank up the heat. Low and slow is the best way to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-melt-chocolate-5-easy-ways\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-melt-chocolate-5-easy-ways\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">melt chocolate<\/a> over the stove.<\/p>\n<p>Once fully melted, remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and chill until slightly thickened. Pop into the fridge on occasion to give it a stir. This will help you keep an eye on the chocolate as it thickens.<\/p>\n<p>Once cooled and thickened, beat the chocolate on medium speed until it gets light and fluffy. Return the mousse to the fridge until it achieves spreading consistency.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Make the ganache<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1853070\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/4-Layer-Chocolate-Mousse-Cake-GHT22_35322_ST_12_06_11-TMB-Studio.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"4 Layer Chocolate Mousse Cake Ght22 35322 St 12 06 11 Tmb Studio\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Besides being full of lush chocolate mousse, this cake is topped with decadent ganache. To make the ganache icing, start by heating chocolate and butter together in a saucepan until melted. Again, do this on low heat and take your time. Once melted, slowly add the cream and heat until warmed. Transfer the ganache to a bowl and chill until it&#8217;s spreadable like frosting.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Layer and frost the cake<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1853073 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/4-Layer-Chocolate-Mousse-Cake-GHT22_35322_ST_12_06_14-TMB-studio.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"4 Layer Chocolate Mousse Cake Ght22 35322 St 12 06 14 Tmb Studio\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>To transform the two cake layers into four, grab a serrated bread knife.

Then evenly spread a third of the chocolate mousse over the top. Repeat with the remaining layers of cake and mousse.<\/p>\n<p>All that&#8217;s left is to frost the outside of the cake with the creamy chocolate ganache. The spreadable ganache works similarly to buttercream frosting.
