almond spazz

Happy 4th of July! Baking of this cake stretched from 10 P.M. to 11 P.M., because I wanted the mousse to set completely overnight. I could barely sleep, because I really wanted to sneak downstairs and unmold it to see how it looked. Luckily I still had some self-control. The mousse unmolded from the cake ring gloriously and didn’t stick! Had to cover up some sloppy work with the almonds on the side, but it was a nice touch so I’m no ashamed. It is a nutella-chocolate mousse with hazelnut cake sandwiched inside. Sides are covered with almonds and the rim of the cake is dripped with chocolate ganache.
