Supreme Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Mousse Filling

First off, a big thank you for this recipe. I love baking but this was my first try at a cake, and a layered one at that! I followed all the instructions, only thing is since I didn’t have all purpose flour, I used normal flour or maida, as we call it in India.  Secondly, before applying the mouse layer, I brushed each cake layer with just a bit of Bailey’s Irish Cream, and lastly, after reading your comments, i let the ganache cool and thicken slightly, as I didn’t want to pour it on. And it was absolutely delicious!! Thank you so much for this recipe. My family loved it.
