Death By Chocolate

A spectacular cake, but be prepared for snags in the preparation. I used Swiss chocolate for the mousse and had it seize up 2 separate times when I tried to add the egg yolks. I finally used domestic chocolate chips with a bit of cream, and the mousse went smoothly. Worth the trouble? Yes, probably.
