Ingredients: 

Cake

* 1/2 cup butter

* 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

* 3/4 cup sugar

* 1/8 tsp salt

* 1 tsp vanilla

* 3 large eggs

* 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Mousse filling

* 12 oz fresh or frozen raspberries

* 2/3 cup sugar

* 1/4 cup water

* 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

* 1 pk unflavored gelatin, (or 2 1/4 tsp) + 1/4 cup water to soften

Ganache glaze

* 8 oz semisweet or dark (I like to use 60%) chocolate finely chopped (alternatively you can use couverture chocolate) (226g) The difference between normal chocolate and couverture is that couverture contains a higher content of cocoa butter. The added cocoa butter allows for couverture chocolate to melt faster, making it easier to work with.

* 1 cup heavy whipping cream (236ml
