Chocolate mousse cake from How To Be a Domestic Goddess: Baking and the Art of Comfort Food (UK) (page 176) by Nigella Lawson

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    Errata from early editions: Only the egg yolks should be beaten with the sugar - the whites are used later.

    I made a smaller version of this, halving the recipe and using a smaller tin. I loved the result but even though I only cooked it for 40m it was ever so slightly over in terms of the top and the cooked-ness of the moussey interior. Didn't bother with the foil method suggested by Nigella, and just wrapped the exterior of the tin in foil instead. Would do again.
