This pretty cake has two layers of chocolate sponge that are sandwiched together with raspberry jam and chocolate mousse and frosted with chocolate ganache.
Classic genoise can be flavorless and dry. Not this one: It's moist, eggy, slightly sweet, and tempting to eat plain.
A Genoise Cake is named after its place of origin, Genoa Italy. It belongs to the family of light and airy sponge cakes.
For a Chocolate Genoise, unsweetened cocoa powder is added to the batter which adds a mild chocolate flavor and turns the cake a lovely chocolate brown color.
While this cake can be eaten plain, it makes a really good layer cake. For this recipe, we take two layers of Chocolate Genoise and first soak them with an orange flavored sugar syrup.
Next, the two Genoise layers are sandwiched together with a thin layer of raspberry jam and a rich and creamy Chocolate Mousse.
