Preheat your oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F). Grease and line a 20 cm (8-inch) springform pan with parchment paper.
Melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the granulated sugar and eggs together until pale and frothy. Slowly pour in the melted chocolate mixture while continuing to whisk until fully incorporated.
Sift the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder into the mixture, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25β30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
For the mousse layer, melt the milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form. Gently fold the cooled melted chocolate into the whipped cream until fully combined.
Spread the chocolate mousse evenly over the cooled cake layer. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
For the ganache topping, heat 150 ml of heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over 150 grams of chopped dark chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring it over the mousse layer, spreading evenly. Return the cake to the refrigerator to set for another hour.
Remove the cake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate. Slice and serve chilled for an indulgent chocolate experience.
