I have lost my reciepe for Chocolat Mousse Cake with chocolate wafer crust-topped with chocolate leaves-in a springform pan-pitured in Bon Appetit several years ago. HELP! I want to have it at a dinner party for someone special.

    kbwahine, I think i know the cove page if it's the one weher the chocolate ""leaves" stood on their side. Anyway I can't lay my hands on it. I found Dec 2004 Chocolate Mousse Cake with hazelnuts.

    Candy was yours the cover recipe as well?

      I have lost a BA recipe for a chocolaty cake(torte)with dried apricots rolled out and formed into roses and chocolate leaves formed by painting lemon leaves with bitter sweet chocolate. It is not a t Epi.and I'd love to have it back again

        Ty QueenB! I had a huge collection of BA mags and remembered most all of them by covers. I have a very strange memory. But I like it and plan to keep it a long time. :)

          If it is the one I am thinking of, it was QUITE a few years ago and was the cover (Dec? Nov?) shot. I think QueenB's post is that one. I have made it in the past and worked great. The leaf technique is ultra easy to do as well.

            Yes, the one I posted was a cover recipe. This recipe brings back childhood memories. I'm going to have to make it soon now and see if it's as good as I remember.

              A little late for posting,but this was always my uncle's favorite dessert at Christmas time during family get togethers. I used holly leaves instead of lemon leaves in keeping with the season. Thanks for bringing back the memories!

              kbwahine, is it this recipe? It's from December 1980 Bon Appetit. My mom made this a couple of times and I remember it being so good.

                  You're very welcome!

                If you're serious I will gladly go through my collection of past Bon Appetit. Do you have any idea what month and I'll check the copies I have...

                This is why I don't throw them out, I've found that not all of the recipes published are on their website...

                  Does one of these look familiar?
