Method
 

Cake Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder.
  3. In another bowl, combine coconut sugar, non-dairy milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Gradually mix into dry ingredients until smooth.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Mousse Making
  1. While the cake cools, whip the vegan heavy cream until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Melt the vegan dark chocolate until smooth, then gently fold into the whipped cream.
Assembling the Cake
  1. Once the cake cools, release the sides of the springform pan. Spread the mousse over the top and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Ganache Preparation
  1. Melt the chocolate chips and vegan butter in a saucepan over low heat until smooth.
  2. Let the ganache cool before pouring it over the mousse, spreading for a sleek finish.
Chilling and Serving
  1. Refrigerate for an additional hour, then slice with a warm knife for clean cuts.
