Instructions
Chocolate Sponge
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a 23cm (9-inch) springform pan.
Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring occasionally.
Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks with half of the sugar until light and creamy.
Stir in the melted chocolate and vanilla extract.In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with the remaining sugar and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
Sift the flour and baking powder together, and gently fold it into the egg yolk mixture.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture in batches, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow the sponge to cool completely in the pan.Dark Chocolate Mousse
Place the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water and melt it, stirring occasionally.
Set it aside to cool.Whip the double cream until soft peaks form and set aside.
Combine the egg whites and sugar in a heatproof bowl.
Place the bowl over simmering water (double boiler) and whisk constantly until the mixture reaches 70°C (160°F) and the sugar dissolves.Remove from the heat and continue whisking until stiff peaks form.
Let it cool slightly.Gently fold the whipped cream into the melted chocolate, followed by the cooled egg whites, until fully combined.

Let it cool slightly.Whip the double cream until soft peaks form and set aside.

Assemble the Cake
Place one layer of chocolate sponge on a cake plate.
Spread a layer of chocolate.
Create a border with a piping bag: Pipe the dark chocolate mousse around the edge of the cake layer. This will act as a barrier for the white mousse filling.Spread the white mousse inside the piped border. Cover with a thin layer of dark chocolate mousse.
Add the second cake layer and repeat the steps: layer of dark chocolate mousse, piped border, white mousse, and a thin layer of dark chocolate mousse.
Add the third sponge layer and use the dark chocolate mousse to cover the entire cake evenly.
Decorate the top with fresh blueberries, blackberries, chocolate shaves or sponge crumbs and mint leaves.
