Mousse is sticky thick and not sweet. Frosting is to sweet and I didn’t care for the texture.

Description
This cake is wonderfully rich and dark and moist. The mousse gives it a nice creamy contrast without being too sweet, and the frosting has this great zing from the sour cream.

- 2 teaspoons Vanilla
- 1 cup Boiling Water

Made just the cake layers to try with a chocolate fudge frosting…it got some serious attention when it was being divvied up in the dorm kitchen. Very tasty-very moist. Took much longer than 45 minutes, albeit, I was using an unpredictable oven.

The cake and filling were great. I thought the sour cream would not dissolve all that sugar, so I added more sour cream. It did dissolve the sugar, so I had to thicken with more sugar. Lesson learned: Patience– the sugar will dissolve. Great flavor–but my icing was too sweet.

Your cake sounds amazing although it is difficult to see it well in your photo. I have bookmarked it though to try when my chocoholic grandkids are visiting.

Your cake is what they were talking about when they said “death by chocolate.” Man oh man, but does it look delectably delicious!!!
