I love this chocolate mousse for cake (no gelatin or eggs)

My chocolate mousse contains melted dark chocolate, butter, sugar, and sour cream and is aerated with freshly whipped cream. The resulting mousse has a decadent chocolate flavor yet a light creamy texture and is stable enough to fill cakes.

Here are the ingredient amounts to make 4.5 cups of mousse (a 50% increase in the amount I showed in the video, which I explained at the very end.)

6 oz (170g) dark chocolate, chopped into small pieces
3 TB (42g) unsalted butter
a couple of big pinches of salt
1 1/2 cups (360g) heavy whipping cream, cold from the fridge
1/2 cup (120g) full-fat sour cream, cold from the fridge
3/4 cup (90g) powdered sugar

Here is the whipped cream recipe for the outside of the cake:
1 1/2 cups (340g) heavy whipping cream, cold
1/4 cup (25g) powdered sugar (or more to taste)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon Sahnesteif (also goes by Whip-it)
(Buy Sahnesteif at Amazon here: https://amzn.to/3A00Rcg)

If you're interested in the chocolate chiffon cake, I've entered it into my Cakeculator.
To make this size of cake, you'll need a recipe for TWO 8-inch layers, which you can then slice in half horizontally to make FOUR thinner layers.
