To get started, prepare a chocolate biscuit. You will need flour, cocoa powder, sugar, eggs and vegetable oil.

While the biscuit cools down, you can begin to prepare chocolate mousse. You will need dark chocolate, cream and gelatin. Melt the chocolate in a water bath or in a microwave. In a separate container, dilute gelatin in cold water and let it swell. Then heat the cream to a boil and add swollen gelatin, mix thoroughly until completely dissolved. After that, add melted chocolate and mix well again. Leave the mousse to cool for a while.
When the biscuit and the mousse cooled, you can start assembling the cake. Put the biscuit on the tray or plate, then gently put the chocolate mousse on top, evenly distribute it on the surface of the biscuit. Put the cake in the refrigerator for several hours so that the mousse froze.
