I love Make Cakes
Especially Mousse Cakes
“Coconut and Yuzu Mousse Cake”
Mousse cake is a type of dessert that has an airy or
fluffy texture. The word “mousse” itself literally translates to “foam”
in French due to its really light structure.
Mousse cake was first invented in France in the eighteenth
century. Before the sweet mousse we commonly see today, it was the
savoury type of mousse that was first created. It was Henri
Toulouse-Lautrec, who was interestingly not a chef or a cook, but a
bohemian painter. Although he was a painter, Toulouse-Lautrec had a
background as a cook and spent a lot of his time trying to make new
creations. The sweet mousse that we know today was invented a century
later, in the mid-19th century.
