Double Mousse Dome Cake (Zuccotto Cake)
I was determined to make a zuccotto cake for Christmas but only had a vague idea at first. So I created this by incorporating things that my son and husband like.
Use a bowl with an inner radius of 18 cm if possible.
For the sponge cake to be lined around the sides of the bowl, it'll look nicer if you can cut about 2 cm off the circular parts on two sides and straighten. Recipe by *Anna*

Double Chocolate Mousse Cake Double Chocolate Mousse Cake
Both the white chocolate mousse and the chocolate mousse recipes are delicious. So if the two are extravagantly put together, they must become even more delicious...and it was so, so, so good.If you don't line the mold with parchment paper, it maybe comes out prettier? Adding a good amount of gelatin to the white chocolate mousse and chocolate mousse makes it properly firm.If you don't add the white chocolate to the white chocolate mousse mixture, it will just be a bavarois, which is also very tasty. For 18 cm [7.1 in] round cake mold/inside diameter: 16.6 cm. Recipe by ko-ko

Mango Mousse Cake Mango Mousse Cake
I wanted to make a mousse with mango juice which is easier to obtain than mango purées.You can also make the mango juice with mango purées.

Rather than serving the mousse on its own, it'll taste more balanced by serving it with this jelly. For 18 cm [7.1 in] cake pan. Recipe by SOL* -

I thought up a dessert recipe using Tropicana orange juice. I decorated the top with orange slices in syrup to make it festive.Pour a very thin layer of the orange jelly over the orange slices so that you can see them.When you're mixing in the whipped cream, add some of the step 4 mixture to it to loosen it up first before stirring the cream into the rest of the mixture.The cake is better the next day, when the sponge will have become nice and moist.
