Whoa! It’s been 2 months since I’ve been away! I cannot believe that I took such a long break from blogging. But I am glad to be back. Actually, I hadn’t planned to take such a long gap. I had thought of taking a two week break but then I got very busy and honestly, a little lazy. 😉

I’m sure most of you know that I was in Dubai with my parents last two months. I had a great time there, all thanks to God. The best part about my visit to Dubai was my big brothers wedding. It was a beautiful one and he brought home his beautiful wife. I have never seen my brother so happy and so in love ever. 🙂 MashahAllah! They are made for each other, I’m sure that they both will make each other happy always, in shaa Allah. May Allah bless them always, Ameen!

I had met some of my Dubai readers too during my stay there. It was so humbling and nice. Very sweet people. I also met Rafeeda of The Big Sweet Tooth, it was so much fun with her and her kids. Then there was Eid, our family trip, meeting up with my best buddies, enjoying umas yummy food and her pampering, staying awake late night chatting with my sister, being around my sweetheart Yasmeen (my niece), having interesting conversations with younger brother and then annoying him :D, waiting for my husbands visit during the weekends….it was all too good.

So I can say that I got the best and much needed break. Now I am back with high spirits and full energy. I will be back to blogging regularly like before. I have noted down many of your recipe requests which you had given in the survey. So I will start my cooking experiments soon and post new recipes.

Today I have for you this easy chocolate mousse cake recipe. Its so easy because you can use the ready cake mix to bake your cake and the mousse can be prepared by blending all the ingredients for it in a blender, pour it on top of the cake and refrigerate. I had made it for my friends in Dubai and they loved it. Please do try this out Im sure that you all will love it too. 🙂 Here is a video tutorial.
 
 
 

Ingredients:
 
  • 1 Betty Crocker (or any other brand) chocolate cake mix plus the ingredients needed to bake the cake as per the package directions.
  • 125ml thick cream/ 1 tin nestle cream
  • 1 sachet dream whip powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 Kiri cheese cubes at room temperature/ 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp chocolate powder (hot chocolate powder/ nesquick) (optional)
  • Chopped almonds (optional)
For garnish:
 
Maltesers chocolate 
White chocolate shavings
Ferraro Rocher
Chocolate ganache
(you can garnish it anyway you like)
 
NOTES:
 
  • I used cake mix to prepare the cake. But you can make the cake from scratch too. I used Betty Crocker super moist chocolate cake mix for this recipe. I had used the same brand Devils Food cake mix too and that was also good.
  • After blending the mousse mixture, if you feel the the mix is too thick, you can add a little whipping cream and blend more.
  • You can use ganache to garnish the cake by pouring it on the sides. (Below is the picture of the mousse cake beautifully garnished by my best friend, Nimeena)

      Thank you very much. Hahaha, the Ferraro Rocher was just an option which I gave for garnishing. The same with chocolate ganache. You can do it like how my friend garnished her cake. The picture of her cake with Ferraro and ganache is there in the post. 🙂
