- 1 tablespoon baking powder
For the Chocolate Syrup:
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
For the Passion Fruit Mousse:
- 1 cup concentrated passion fruit juice
- 1 can condensed milk
- 1/2 box cream
- 1 cup powdered milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake: Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). In a large bowl, mix eggs and sugar. Add melted butter and milk, then blend in flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Pour batter into a greased mold and bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Make the Chocolate Syrup: Combine milk, sugar, and cocoa powder in a saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring until dissolved. Allow to cool slightly before soaking the baked cake.
- Prepare the Passion Fruit Mousse: Blend passion fruit juice, condensed milk, cream, and powdered milk until smooth. Pour over the soaked cake.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
- For a richer chocolate flavor, you can add vanilla extract to the syrup or a splash of coffee.
- If the mousse is too thick, fold in a bit more cream or milk. If too thin, let it chill longer.
- Garnish with fresh fruit or chocolate shavings for added elegance.
