Heat the butter with the chocolate in a water bath. Whip the butter with sugar. Then, mix the butter and the chocolate. Add 4 yolks. Mix well, gradually adding the flour and the baking powder. Whip the egg whites, and add them to the mixture, stirring well. Bake the sponge biscuit for 40 to 45 minutes at 180C (356F). Then, cool the biscuit, and soak it with milk or cream. Place it in the fridge.

To cook the mousse, pour the gelatin with milk. Heat the chocolate and the butter in a water bath, and add the ready-made gelatin. Whip the cold cream, and add the gelatinous mixture.

To assemble the cake, cut off the crust, using a pastry ring. Use a 20 cm (7.9 inch) ring mold. Put an acetate film inside the ring, and place the sponge biscuit down; then the dark chocolate mousse, and leave it in the fridge for an hour. Then, pour in the milk chocolate mousse, and also remove it in the fridge for an hour. Finally, pour in the white chocolate mousse. Leave the finished cake in the fridge for a day.

Decorate the cake at your discretion (with chocolate glaze, grapes, chocolates or marshmallows).

Bon Appetit!
