Level and smooth the mixture in each tin with a palette knife.
Bake for 25-30 mins until firm to the touch.
Set aside to cool for 5 mins.
Run a palette knife around the inside edge of the tins and carefully turn the cakes out onto a cooling rack. - MOUSSE:
Place the chocolate in a bowl and melt over a pan of gently simmering water (do not allow the base of the bowl to touch the water).
Stir continuously, taking care not to let the chocolate get too hot or split.
Whip the double cream, carefully fold in the melted chocolate until smooth and not streaky.
