Butter the form, and put baking paper inside.
Pour the liquid inside

Put in preheated oven. Bake about 25-30min in 180C
cake will collapse and will make a space for mousse :)
don’t take it out of the form.

MOUSSE

Prepare mousse like the cake – melt chocolate and butter, mix egg yolks with cocoa, whisk egg whites with sugar.
Mix chocolate with egg yolks, add melted gelatine, add egg whites foam, and mix them gently.

Pour mousse to the collapsed cake, and put in the fridge for at least 4 hours. (but it’s better on the next day :D )
cut it by hot knife
