I used Hersheys deep dark chocolate cake recipe from this site instead of a mix. The mousse I used to fill and frost the two layer cake. It was one of the most moist cakes ever. I even had extra mousse to use with each serving. wonderful!! Will make again and again! Thanks

If I could give this more stars I would! Wow! I had no problems with my layers slipping. I followed the recipe exactly as written, and ended up with a very thick mousse that held everything together wonderfully. Not only did it taste great, but it was the most wonderful looking cake I've made so far! Boyfriend said, "Oh my goodness wow!" about 20 times after his first bite. I will be making this on many occasions.

I made this for mothers day last year and we all loved it. It was easy and looked good when topped with white chocolate shavings. It is mothers day soon here in NZ and this is the cake I will make again to celebrate it.

Unbelievably good! I layered some crushed Oreos (without the cream filling) onto the mousse in the middle of the cake to give it a little crunch. I also grated a dark chocolate Hershey bar and sprinkled on top of the finished cake - it gave it a really cool texture. I made this recipe for a friend's birthday. Most of the people at the party are in the restaurant business, so I had a tough crowd to please. They were so impressed with the cake! It was DELICIOUS! They didn't have a clue that I could cook, since I'm always eating THEIR food.

This was a great recipe!! I made it for my mother-in-law's birthday and everyone devoured it!! I took others advice and made sure to place a couple skewers in the cake before transporting it which worked perfect to keep it from slipping. I also added a layer of whipped cream on top of the middle mousse layer and added shaved belgium chocolate to the top. Easy and incredible cake!

I made this cake on Valentine's Day, it was a huge hit, everyone loved it. I'm not a very good cook and it was such a simple recipe to follow that anyone could make it. I noticed how some people put that it wasn't sweet enough, try using one square of sweetened chocolate and one square of unsweetened chocolate thats what I did and it turned out simply wonderful. I will definitely make it again!

I love this cake, it was pretty simple and tasted great. For all the people having problems with the top layer sliding, try putting a layer of strawberries in between. It tastes really good and gives the cake some traction so it wont slide.

My family really enjoyed this cake. It's smooth and light, and a nice change of pace. My daughter wants me to make the mousse again, to spoon into a bowl with whipped cream. Next time, I will use the mousse as a filling, and frost the cake with regular chocolate frosting and serve the mousse on the side.

Let's get real - It won't look like you bought it at a bakery. Anyway, the mousse frosting was wonderful. A tip about transportation is to stick toothpicks or chopsticks in the cake because the mousse is so slippery that my top layer slid halfway off during its car ride.

This cake is a chocoholic's dream! I made this for my husband's birthday and we enjoyed it quite well. It is very rich! The only thing was that the mousse was not quite as thick as I had imagined and the top cake layer slid around a bit. I think I should have whipped the cream a little longer.....otherwise this is delicious!

This is simply fantabulous... I have made this 3 times so far, the 1st attempt was in Singapore, the mousse turned out fudgy, but still the taste is good. The 2nd time, I made it in Melbourne (Winter) I cut the water back to 1/2 c and the result was perfect. Just over the weekend, I made it again and it was simply the best.. Using Devil's Chocolate cake makes a difference too! Best of all .. it's so easy to remember the ingredients.. Stephanie.. thank you.

Easy to make for a party when you have lots of other things to make. Doubled it and made it for a baby shower and it was delicious! Everyone ate some and took some home and I freezed the remainder which my hubby and I ate a month later and it was still moist and delicious!

This cake is pretty good, but being the chocoholic that I am, the mousse didn't exactly satisfy my sweet tooth, it just wasn't sweet enough for my taste. However my husband who is not a huge fan of sweets really liked it!

This is a marvelous cake. I added some Tia Maria over the baked layers prior to frosting with the mousse. I also added fresh raspberries to the top! Spectacular presentation, spectacular taste...

This recipie was pretty good overall, but I was disappointed with the mousse. I think that the same effect could have been achieved by folding cool whip into chocolate pudding. I dont think I will take the time to make it again.
