Chocolate Raspberry Mousse Cake

This gorgeous layered dessert features a brownie-like chocolate cake, luscious chocolate raspberry jam, and a light and fluffy raspberry and ruby chocolate mousse all enrobed in a stunningly shiny dark chocolate mirror glaze.

The only thing more gorgeous than a super shiny glaze are the distinct layers inside that reveal themselves with every slice.

Oh, would you look at those gorgeous layers!

Delightfully crispy croustillant base made from chocolate, Nutella, and feuilletine.

Tender, fudgy, brownie-like chocolate cake.

Rich and sumptuous chocolate raspberry jam.

Light and fruity raspberry and ruby chocolate mousse.

Gorgeous, ultra-shiny dark chocolate mirror glaze.

Separately each component is good, but together, they become one heck of an impressive dessert.

We’ve partnered with Karo® Syrup for this stunning example of confection perfection.

Combining chocolate and raspberry in an entremet-style mousse cake with a glossy mirror glaze is an idea I’ve had knocking around my head for quite some time now.

So when Karo® reached out, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to make that idea a reality, since mirror glaze relies on the unique qualities of corn syrup to produce an ultra shiny glaze (the reason it’s called mirror glaze, after all, is that it is so shiny you can basically see your reflection in it).

Corn syrup is a moderately sweet invert sugar derived from corn; an invert sugar being made by breaking the bonds between the glucose and fructose. This unique structure helps to prevent crystallization in any recipe involving cooked sugar, including things like caramel sauce, homemade marshmallows, and—you guessed it—mirror glaze.
