Today I made a very cute half-moon shaped chocolate chestnut cake. In fact, this cake falls somewhere between a roll and a mousse. And the dark chocolate mascarpone mousse is soft and deeply flavored. This cake goes well with espresso. The two types of mousse inside are like ice cream, so even a little frozen is very delicious.
