Cake Preparation
- Preheat oven to 160C/140C fan forced. Release base of a 22cm springform pan, invert, line with baking paper, and grease the side with melted butter.
- Melt chocolate, butter, sugar, and water in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Remove from heat and stir in flours, cocoa, and egg. Pour the mixture into the pan and bake for 25 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
- Cool the cake completely in the pan.
Mousse Preparation
- For the mousse, place chocolates in a heatproof bowl over simmering water and stir for 3-4 minutes or until melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly. Use electric beaters to beat cream in a bowl until soft peaks form. Fold a third of the cream into the chocolate mixture, and repeat twice until well combined.
- Spoon mousse into the pan, tap on the bench to remove air pockets, and smooth the surface with a spatula. Place in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight to chill and set.
Glaze Preparation
- For the glaze, combine chocolate, cream, and glucose in a small saucepan. Stir over low heat until melted and smooth.
- Cool slightly and pour over the mousse. Place in the fridge for 1 hour to set. Serve cut into wedges.
