Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lightly greasing it or lining with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well-blended.
- In a separate bowl, mix together granulated sugar and vegan milk until fully dissolved. Whisk for a smooth consistency.
- Gently pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
- Transfer batter into the prepared springform pan and bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Once baked, cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a bowl, whip vegan heavy cream until soft peaks form, then fold in melted vegan chocolate chips until combined.
- Slice the cooled cake horizontally into two equal layers. Spread half of the mousse on one layer, then top with the second layer and spread the remaining mousse.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 3 hours to let flavors meld.
- Melt vegan chocolate chips and vegan butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Pour the ganache over the mousse cake and refrigerate again for about 30 minutes to set.
- Slice the cake carefully and serve chilled.

Notes
Chill your cream and bowls before whipping for firmer peaks. Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
