1. Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Grease two 9” (22cm) cake pans.
2. Beat eggs, sugar and vanilla until combined. Add oil and buttermilk. Add next 4 ingredients. Mix until well combined. Carefully fold in boiling water until batter is smooth and mixture is quite thin. Pour into prepared pans. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in centre of cake comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool on a wire rack.
4. Mousse: Whip cream in a large bowl until thick and cream holds its shape. Beat in icing sugar and vanilla. Fold in melted and cooled chocolate chips. Do not over mix. Mousse should have a rippled effect.
