Creamy Chocolate Mousse Cake

Fabulous!Creamy! Rich, chocolaty, and not too sweet. I added an optional middle layer, using some Almond Butter Chia Pudding and added a tiny bit of psyllium husk powder to thicken it up. The middle layer blended into the rest of the cake.....but you can see a thin light colored line thru the middle. That's the pudding!

I'd suggest freezing the first layer before adding the middle layer. That should stop them from bleeding into each other. This is a super yummy cake and my non-raw friends enjoyed it very much!
