Step 1
Place the 1 slice chocolate cake on a serving plate. Set aside while you make the mousse.
Step 2
Melt the 4 oz dark chocolate in a microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Step 3
In a cold bowl, whip the 1 cup heavy cream and 2 tbsp powdered sugar with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream gently until no streaks remain. Spoon the mousse over the cake, shaping it into a dome.
Step 5
Top with the chocolate sphere and garnish with the 1 sheet gold leaf. Serve immediately or chill for 10 minutes to set.
