Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your bundt pan by greasing it with unsalted butter and dusting it with flour.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
  3. Cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients with the buttermilk, alternating them until just combined.
  6. Beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth, then fold in the heavy whipping cream.
  7. Pour half the chocolate batter into the bundt pan, add the mousse filling, and then pour the remaining batter on top.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  9. Prepare the ganache by heating the heavy cream and pouring it over the chocolate chips, whisking until smooth.
  10. After the cake has cooled, invert it onto a platter and pour the ganache over the top, garnishing with chocolate shavings if desired.
