Method
 

Cake Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt dark chocolate with unsalted butter over simmering water until smooth. In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, eggs, baking powder, and salt. Fold in melted chocolate until smooth.
  2. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans. Divide batter evenly and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
Mousse Making and Layering
  1. While the cake layers cool, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Melt another 8 oz of dark chocolate and allow it to cool. Fold into whipped cream.
  2. Once cooled, layer one cake on a platter, spread fresh raspberries, spoon half of the mousse, place the second cake layer, and repeat with remaining raspberries and mousse.
Chilling and Serving
  1. Cover the assembled cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  2. Slice with a serrated knife and serve garnished with extra raspberries or whipped cream.
