Pour the batter into the tin and bake in 13 to 14 minutes. Cool on a rack.

MAKE THE MOUSSE: Chop the chocolate and set aside. Soak the gelatin in a large bowl with 1 liter of cold water. The gelatin should be in the water for 10 minutes. Heat the milk and sugar to boiling point. Pull the pan from the heat, squeeze the water out of the gelatine leaves and stir into the hot milk. Stir in the chocolate and salt. Stir until the chocolate has melted and you have a smooth mixture. Set aside. Whip the cream to a soft peaks. Mix the chocolate mix together with the cream. You'll get a pretty runny mousse. Pour the mousse into the baking tin and place the dish in the freezer. Let mousse stand in the freezer so the mousse hardens. 2-3 hours.

Take the cake out of the freezer and remove the cake tin. Place cake on a platter and pour the ganache over top of cake.
