Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together all Chocolate Cake ingredients until combined. Gradually add hot coffee and mix until smooth.
  3. Pour batter evenly into prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
  4. To make the Chocolate Mousse, beat Cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Gradually add Heavy cream and beat until fluffy. Stir in melted chocolate and Vanilla extract.
  5. To make the Ganache, heat Heavy cream in a saucepan until simmering. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for 1 minute. Stir until smooth.
  6. Level cake layers if needed. Place one layer on a serving plate and spread with half of the Chocolate Mousse. Top with the second layer and spread with remaining mousse.
  7. Pour Ganache over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
