Instructions

Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Pan: Grease and line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
Melt Together: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter together until smooth.
Combine Ingredients: Whisk in the granulated sugar, followed by the eggs and vanilla extract.
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Fold in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined.
Bake the Base: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Cool Completely: Allow the brownie to cool completely in the pan.
Bloom Gelatin: Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
Prepare Mousse Filling: Combine semisweet chocolate, heavy cream, and sugar over low heat until melted and smooth.
Whip Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form and fold it into the chocolate mixture.
Spread Mousse: Pour the mousse over the cooled brownie layer and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Make Ganache: Heat the cream and butter until just boiling, pour over the chopped semisweet chocolate and stir until smooth.
Top the Cake: Once the ganache cools slightly, pour it over the set mousse layer and refrigerate again for about 30 minutes.
