But as you know, too much of anything often creates issues and the Chocolate Mousse cake is no exception to this rule. The heavy chocolate coating on the chocolate mousse cake tends to spread and drip over the edges as you put it on a display stand. However, there is a way of resolving the issue by way of using agar, which will improve the firmness of your recipe. As a matter of fact, the gelatinous substance found in agar, also known as Japanese gelatin gives the required firmness to the recipe.
