Earl Grey Mousse Cake

If the word ‘elegant’ was a cake, this would be it.

The Earl Grey Mousse Cake is sensational thanks to Whittard of Chelsea Malaysia Earl Grey Tea! We used it to make this fragrant Earl Grey Sponge Cake that is topped with sweet-milky Earl Grey Chocolate Mousse.

It also has walnut gianduja at the centre and a crunchy chocolate nestum base.

A square minicake further elevated with gold flakes – this is an absolutely gorgeous cake that is also easy to make at home!
