Going to bake my first cake from scratch

Question

I got a recipe from the internet that I am going to follow. It is a yellow cake with chocolate frosting. It is for my husband and he loves yellow cake with chocolate frosting... I am thinking of doing a chocolate mousse filling, but I also wanted to use whipping cream as well...would filling the inside with chocolate mousse as well as whipped cream be good, or is that too much? Maybe I should dollop some whipped cream for people to use at their own discretion instead? Just wondering...

Answer 1

I would fill it with the mouse and use the whipped cream as a garnish on the top.

Answer 3

For a yellow cake I would stick with chocolate frosting as a filling and a frosting.  Don't mess with a good thing.
