Chocolate raspberry parfait is an easy dessert that anyone can do! Moist chocolate cake and creamy raspberry mousse layered into glasses will definitely be a hit at your dining table!
For the chocolate cake: Sift the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder into a bowl. Add sugar and mix everything with a wooden spoon. Pour in milk, sunflower oil and the egg. Mix this until well combined.
Pour into 8x8 inch (20x20 centimeter) cake pan lined with a sheet of baking paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 350° Fahrenheit/180° Celsius for 15-20 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Let it cool completely before crumbling it with your hands.
For the raspberry mousse: Using an electric mixer, combine the berries, mascarpone and powdered sugar until smooth.
Fill glasses with layers of the chocolate cake crumb mix and raspberry mousse and garnish to your liking (i.e. fresh berries, chocolate shavings).
Eat right away or chilled.
Notes
This recipe is versatile so you can adjust the amounts to your liking - thin the raspberry layer by adding more raspberries or top these with chocolate shavings, fresh raspberries, create more layers or use strawberries.
The cake will be enough for 4 glasses (8 ounces/250 milliliters each). If you don’t use up all the cake, just wrap it in cling film and freeze for later use. In this case divide the raspberry mousse ingredients in half.
This recipe can be easily doubled.
You can use fresh or frozen raspberries (let them thaw before processing).
Powdered sugar - you can increase or decrease the amount of sugar to your liking.
Turn this into a no-bake dessert by using Oreo cookies instead of baking the cake.
