Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a springform pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, whisking until evenly incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, mix the vegetable oil and aquafaba until combined, then slowly add this mixture to the dry ingredients.
- Stir until the batter is smooth, then pour it into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, prepare the mousse.
- In a clean mixing bowl, whip the vegan heavy cream until soft peaks form, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Gently fold in the melted vegan chocolate chips until no streaks remain.
- Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled chocolate cake and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- While the mousse is chilling, make the chocolate ganache.
- In a small saucepan, heat the vegan heavy cream over low-medium heat until it begins to simmer.
- Pour the hot cream over the vegan chocolate chips in a mixing bowl and let it sit for a few minutes.
- Stir until smooth and glossy, then allow it to cool slightly.
- Pour the ganache over the set mousse layer, ensuring even distribution.
- After the ganache has set for about 30 minutes, carefully release the cake from the springform pan.
- Slice the cake into portions and enjoy!

Notes
Whip aquafaba wisely and avoid overheating ganache for the best results. Chill thoroughly and customize your flavors for a unique touch.
