Ingredients

TO MAKE THE CAKE
- one box of chocolate cake
- 2 tsp of vanilla

TO MAKE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
1. 8 ounces chocolate
You can use bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, depending on how sweet you want your mousse to be. If you want to use bittersweet chocolate, you can always add sugar.
2. 4 eggs, separated
3. 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
Pinch of salt (optional)
TO DECORATE
mascarpone cheese
- one bar of dark chocolate
- a few branches of peppermint
