Steps:
- For the brownie: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder and sugar in a medium bowl. Whisk in the milk, butter, vanilla and egg until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack, about 30 minutes.
- Unclasp the pan, remove the outer ring and spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Line the ring with a 2 1/2-inch-wide parchment strip, making sure that it sits tightly and smoothly along the sides. Re-clasp the ring to the bottom of the pan with the cake in it.
- For the mousse: Roughly chop 4 tablespoons of the butter and put in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until melted, about 1 minute. Stir in 1/4 cup of the cocoa powder until smooth; set aside. Chop the remaining 8 tablespoons butter and put in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until melted, about 1 minute. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup cocoa powder until smooth; set aside.
- Add 1/4 cup of the heavy cream to a small microwave-safe bowl and stir in the gelatin. Let sit for 5 minutes to bloom. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until the gelatin is dissolved, about 1 minute. Cool to room temperature, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the gelatin to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and add the sugar, vanilla and remaining 3 3/4 cups heavy cream. Whisk on medium speed until stiff peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Divide the whipped cream mixture between 2 large bowls. Fold one bowl of the cocoa powder-butter mixture into each batch of whipped cream mixture and stir until no streaks remain (one bowl will contain dark chocolate mousse and the other will contain light chocolate mousse).
- Spread the dark chocolate mousse on top of the brownie in the springform pan. Use an offset spatula to even out and smooth the top. Spread the light chocolate mousse on top of the dark chocolate mousse and use an offset spatula to even out and smooth the top. Refrigerate until the mousse is set, 3 hours and up to overnight.
- For the ganache: Bring the heavy cream and butter to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Put the semisweet chocolate in a large heatproof bowl and pour the hot cream over top. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth and shiny.
- Unclasp the springform pan and remove the parchment paper from the sides of the cake. Use a hot, dry offset spatula to smooth out the sides. Set a rack in a rimmed baking sheet and put the cake on top of the rack. Pour the ganache over the cake and let it drip down over the sides so the entire cake is covered. Swipe once across the top with a clean, large offset spatula to create a smooth top. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
- Hold a stencil or other tool with holes (such as a doily or a cooling rack) over the cake (do not lay it on the ganache; it will stick) and dust with more cocoa powder to create a decorative pattern. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. For the cake: Put the eggs and 1 cup of the sugar in a large mixing bowl and, with an electric mixer fitted with a wire whisk, beat on medium-high speed until the mixture is pale yellow, thick and has tripled in volume, about 8 minutes. Sift the cocoa, flour and baking powder together in another large mixing bowl. Add the egg mixture and fold to mix thoroughly. Grease 2 (9 by 2-inch) round cake pans with the butter. Sprinkle each with a tablespoon of the remaining sugar. Pour the cake batter evenly into the pans and bake until the cake springs back when touched, about 25 minutes. Let cool for about 2 minutes. Using a thin knife, loosen the edges of the cakes and flip onto a wire rack. Let cool completely. Sift together the confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder into a medium-size bowl. Add the butter and mix with an electric mixer until incorporated. Add the vanilla and boiling water and mix until smooth. Let cool. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the cream and the chocolate. On medium speed. Whip until stiff peaks form, set aside.
- To assemble the cake: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack over it. Using a serrated knife, cut each cake in half horizontally. Brush the tops of three of the layers with 1/4 cup of the simple syrup. Place the bottom layer on a 9-inch round of cardboard and set it on the wire rack. Spread 3/4 cup of the mousse evenly on top of the cake. Top with a second layer of cake. Spread another 3/4 cup of the mousse over the top of the cake. Repeat the same process with the third layer. Top with the fourth layer. If necessary, shave off any uneven pieces of the cake with a serrated knife so that it is smooth and even on all sides. Chill for 2 hours. Spread the frosting evenly over the sides and top of the cake. Refrigerate until the frosting sets. Place the chocolate curls on top of the cake. Slice and serve with the ice cream.

TRIPLE LAYER CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE
Want an extra special dessert for someone special? This is it! It sounds complicated, but the steps can be broken down and prepared over 2 - 3 days, which makes it pretty easy. I got the recipe from one of my cooking magazines, I don't remember which one, but this is my all time favorite chocolate cake. I'm not sure about the prep. time, as I always spread it out over 2 or 3 days.

Steps:
- Make the chocolate mousse: Put the chocolate in a food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade.
- Process for 20 to 30 seconds, until finely ground.
- In a small saucepan, combine the milk, sugar and salt.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the sugar dissolves and the milk comes to a boil.
- Remove the pan from the heat.
- With the motor of the food processor running, pour the hot milk through the feed tube.
- Process for 10 to 20 seconds, until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Using a spatula, scrape down the side of the work bowl.
- Add the oil and vanilla extract; process for 5 to 10 seconds, until the mixture is creamy.
- Scrape the chocolate mixture into a large bowl and cool for about 5 minutes, until tepid.
- In a chilled 4-1/2 quart bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer fitted with the wire whisk attachment, whip the cream until soft mounds barely start to form and the cream is still pourable.
- Do not overwhip the cream.
- Using a large rubber spatula, gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the tepid chocolate mixture to lighten it.
- Fold in the remaining whipped cream.
- Do not overfold the mousse or the texture will be grainy.
- Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 6 to 8 hours or overnight, until firm.
- Make the cake: Grease three 10-inch round cake pans.
- Cut three 10-inch circles of waxed paer and place in the bottom of each pan.
- Grease the pan well and then flour, tapping out the excess.
- Set aside.
- Place the oven racks two shelves apart.
- Preheat the over to 350 degrees F.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt.
- Set aside.
- Place the coarsely chopped chocolate and the water on top of a double boiler and turn heat to medium-high, whisking occasionally until smooth.

- Meanwhile, in a 4-1/2 quart bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer using the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and the sugars.
- Add the vanilla.
- Add the eggs one by one, mixing on medium speed until blended.
- Using a rubber spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- With the mixer at its lowest speed, add half of the dry ingredients and the half of the buttermilk.
- When blended, add the remaining buttermilk and the chocolate mixture.
- Mix until blended then add the remaining dry ingredients.
- Mix on medium speed just until blended and the flour lumps disappear.
- Divide evenly among the three prepared pans and smooth the tops with an offset metal spatula.
- Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove the pans from the oven and place on wire cooling racks.
- Cool for 15 minutes and invert.
- Peel off the waxed paper and cool completely.
- Begin to assemble the cake: Place a dab of chocolate mousse and then a layer of the cooled cake on a 10-inch cardboard cake circle or the circular insert of a tart pan.
- Using a large rubber spatula, place about one-quarter of the chilled chocolate mousse on top of the first cake layer.
- Using a metal cake spatula, spread the mousse evenly not quite to the sides of the cake.
- There should be slightly less than one-half inch of mousse on top of the cake.
- Place the second cake layer on top and repeat the mousse layer.
- Place the third cake layer on top, then spread the remaining chocolate mousse over the top and sides of the cake, coating smoothly and evenly.
- Place the cake in the freezer for a minimum of four hours.
- Make the ganache glaze: Place the coarsely chopped chocolate in a food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade.
- Process for 20 to 30 seconds, until finely ground.
- Place in a large bowl.

- Process for 20 to 30 seconds, until finely ground.
- Remove the cake from the freezer and place on a wire rack that has been set over aluminum foil or a sheet pan.
- Slowly pour the ganache over the top of the cake, smoothing with a large metal cake spatula.
- When the top has been coated, slowly pour the ganache around the sides of the cake so it drips down and coats the sides.
