Yield 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 4

white chocolate mousse, from separate recipe
20 oz strawberry jam, seedless
2 round vanilla cakes, prepared with box instructions and trimmed to 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick
mirror glaze, from separate recipe

Steps:

  • Spread the jam evenly into the bottom of a round 8-inch (20 cm) cake pan, then place one of the cake rounds on top. Freeze completely.
  • In a 9-inch by 3-inch (23 cm 8 cm) by silicone round cake mold, pour ⅔ of the chocolate mousse then tap the mold on the table to release any air bubbles.
  • Place the frozen cake & jam disc on top of the mousse, jam-side down. Press the cake down slightly, then cover it with the rest of the mousse.
  • Place the 2nd cake round on top, pressing down until the mousse rises to the level of the cake.
  • Carefully transfer to a freezer and freeze overnight. It is vital that the cake is 100% frozen through.
  • Place a can on top of a baking sheet, then carefully unmold the cake onto the can. Make sure to work quickly and that the glaze is already prepared.
  • When the mirror glaze is between 90 and 96°F (32 - 35°C) , pour the glaze over the cake in a circular motion, making sure to start in the center and work your way outwards.
  • You only have one chance to glaze the cake, since the glaze will start to set due to the cold temperature of the cake, so do not pour a 2nd round of glaze after the first one.
  • Enjoy!
