Need a spectacular birthday cake for my 16 yr. old grandson - he loves chocolate so does anyone have

This is my all-time favorite show-stopper dessert to make.

Elaine, there is also the simple method of making a dark mousse, then dividing it

into three bowls. Add 1/3 C heavy cream to one, 2/3 C heavy cream to the next and 1 cup of heavy cream to the last.

So now you have dark, medium and light mousse.

Then layer each over a cake base for a layered effect without as much work.

Chill between each layer to make your life simpler

The filling would even be better as coffee flavoured - Hungarian style.
