I love eating mousse cakes, but I don't like making them. It irritates me that they are usually multi-ingredient. It's easier for me: mix and bake. And with mousse cakes - you're constantly waiting for something: when it freezes, when it thaws, when it hardens. In general, it's not my thing. When I really want a mousse cake, I call my neighbor who makes such cakes, thereby earning money for a massage and a manicure, and order the one I need. As they say, both the wolves are fed and the sheep are safe.

And then I came across this very simple recipe for a mousse cake, and even with a coffee flavor - a dream! Coffee in this cake is present both in the biscuit and in the mousse - ideal for coffee lovers!

This cake is very easy and quick to prepare.

Now, anticipating questions and exclamations, I will answer right away.

1. I used gelatin from the company "Knox". What kind of gelatin do you have and how to dilute it - read on your package.

2. Can you cover such a cake with icing - I don't know, because I don't make mousse cakes. This cake in my version is the most homemade version: simple, but delicious.

3. Whipping cream - only 35% and higher. Chilled (meaning from the refrigerator).

4. The most painful thing is the floating sponge cake. My sponge cake did NOT float! It lay quietly at the bottom of the pan and did not even think about climbing to the top! Why does yours float - I DON'T KNOW!

Dilute the coffee for the sponge cake with boiling water in advance, cool it completely! So, to prepare the coffee mousse cake, prepare the products according to the list.

Ингредиенты

Sponge cake:

Chicken eggs - 3 pcs.

Sugar - 150 g

Salt - a pinch

Wheat flour - 120-130 g

Instant coffee - 3 tsp. (+ 3 tbsp. boiling water)

Baking powder - 1 tsp.

Cream 35% - 500 ml

Powdered sugar - 140 g

Gelatin - 20 g

Instant coffee - 5 tsp. (+ 200 ml boiling water)

Water - 100 ml

Рецепт

1. Beat eggs with sugar and salt until fluffy and light. Then add diluted and completely cooled coffee. Beat until smooth.

2. Add flour mixed with baking powder. Stir.

3. Put the dough in the pan. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Focus on your oven. The splint from the finished biscuit will come out dry.

4. The biscuit is ready. Cool slightly in the pan, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.

5. Dissolve coffee in boiling water, cool. Pour gelatin with water and let it swell.

6. Whip cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks

7. Add cooled coffee. Beat until smooth at low speeds of the mixer.

8. Dissolve gelatin over a fire or in a water bath - whichever is more convenient for you. Do not overheat. The gelatin water should be slightly warm. Add 2 tbsp of coffee cream to the dissolved gelatin and stir. Then pour this mixture into the cream. Beat until smooth at low speeds. The mixture will be quite liquid.

9. Put the cooled sponge cake back into the mold. Pour the coffee mousse over it. Put the mold in the refrigerator until the mousse has completely set. My mousse set in an hour and a half.

The coffee mousse cake is ready.

10. Here you can see how tender and airy the mousse is, and the sponge cake is soft and quite juicy.

11. Enjoy your tea!
