Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans.
In a bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, mix eggs, milk, sour cream, oil, and vanilla until smooth. Combine with dry ingredients.
Dissolve espresso powder in hot water; add to batter and mix well. Divide between pans and bake for about 35 minutes or until done.
For the mousses: Whisk egg yolks with sugar and cornstarch; heat heavy cream with vanilla until steaming. Gradually combine with yolk mixture and cook until thickened.
Pour over chopped dark and white chocolate separately; fold in whipped cream for lightness.
Assemble the cake by layering chocolate mousse between cake layers; chill for at least four hours.
