Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare two 8-inch round cake pans.
Sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
In another bowl, mix eggs, milk, sour cream, vegetable oil, and vanilla until smooth.
Combine wet and dry ingredients; add dissolved espresso in hot water and mix well.
Divide batter between pans and bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
Prepare dark and white chocolate mousses by heating cream and whisking with egg yolks and sugar.
Melt chocolates with custard mixtures; fold in whipped cream.
