Truffle mousse cake

Black and white chocolate cake is a classic of confectionery business. I've wanted to make such a cake for a very long time. Finally, on my husband's birthday, I realized my plans. The cake turned out amazing. A dense slightly sweet cake goes well with a delicate white chocolate mousse.
