Next, assembling the cake, first place the mold on the plate and fix it, fill the bottom of the mold with a layer of dark chocolate mousse, and put the Sacher cake base with the chocolate crisp bottom (the crispy bottom side down). Make the wine for brushing the cake base (Part V). Ingredients: 20 grams of water, 10 grams of caster sugar, and 30 grams of rum. Boil the water and caster sugar, and add the rum. Dip a brush in the wine and apply it to the surface of the cake (brush several times to make the cake moist enough)

Fill the cake base with dark chocolate mousse. When it is almost full, add another piece of Sacher cake base (the closing is less than 8 inches, and the cake base needs to be cut), and brush with a little wine. Fill the remaining mousse in the gap, cover it with plastic wrap, and send it to the refrigerator to freeze overnight

Take out the chocolate glaze, melt in water, stir until there are no particles, shake and shake out the bubbles, and let it stand to 30 degrees. Take out the cake body, put it on the grill, and place an empty basin under it. Pour the glaze ingredients on the cake to complete
14.
Choose the material you like to decorate the cake. I used dark chocolate balls, gold foil, gold powder, round dark chocolate inserts and a curved chocolate decoration
Tips:
1. The glaze of this cake is thicker than other glazes, so the glaze temperature is slightly higher when it is poured.
2. The mousse cake body must be frozen at -18 degrees for 10 hours before the glaze is topped.
3. Be sure to shake out the bubbles in the glaze, or there will be a lot of bubbles in the glaze.
