Ingredients
Makes about 12 servings
Strawberry Jelly
10 oz (300g) fresh or frozen strawberries, cut into quarters
2 tbsp (30g) sugar
1/2 tbsp (5g) gelatin powder
2 tbsp (30ml) cold water
Chocolate Cake
3/4 cup (100g) flour
1/4 cup (30g) cocoa powder
3/4 tsp (5g) baking soda
1/2 tsp (2g) salt
1 egg
1/2 cup (100g) sugar
1 tsp (5g) vanilla extract
3 tbsp (45g) oil
3.5 oz (100g) buttermilk
3.5 fl oz (100ml) boiling water
White Chocolate Mousse
8 oz (230g) white chocolate, cut in small pieces
2/3 cup (160g) whipping cream
1 2/3 cup (400g) whipping cream (35% fat), chilled
2 tsp (7g) gelatin powder
3 tbsp (45 ml) cold water
Chocolate Mirror Glaze
3.5 oz (100g) sweetened condensed milk
6 oz (175g) semisweet chocolate, cut in small pieces
3/4 cup (150g) sugar
3.5 fl oz (100ml) water
1 tbsp (10g) gelatin powder
1/4 cup (50ml) cold water
3 tbsp (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1. Prepare the strawberry jelly. In a small bowl place the gelatin and cold water and let swell for 5-10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile in a small saucepan place the strawberries and sugar and place over medium-low heat. Bring to a simmer, cook for about 5 minutes and remove from heat. Blend the mixture to make a smooth sauce. Pass through a strainer to remove the seeds.
3. Dissolve gelatin over very low heat and mix with the strawberry puree.
4. Line a 8 inch (20 cm) round pan with plastic wrap.
5. Pour the strawberry puree into the pan and freeze for at least 4 hours or even overnight. Cover with plastic wrap after the first hour.
6. Prepare the chocolate cake. Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Grease and line with parchment paper a 8 inch (20 cm) round cake pan.
7. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
8. In another bowl mix sugar with egg and oil until combined. Mix in buttermilk and vanilla extract. Incorporate flour mixture until well combined. Add hot water and mix to combine. The batter will have a runny consistency.
9. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
10. Bake for about 30 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with few crumbs attached.
11. Let cool completely.
12. Prepare the white chocolate mousse. In a heat proof bowl add the white chocolate and 2/3 cup (160g) whipping cream. Place the bowl over a saucepan with simmering water, over low heat until all the chocolate is melted. Meanwhile dissolve gelatin in cold water and let it swell for about 5 to 10 minutes. Place the gelatin over low heat just until the gelatin dissolves and pour it over the melted chocolate mixture. Let the chocolate mixture cool completely at room temperature.
13. Whip the remaining 1 2/3 cup (400g) cold whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Add melted chocolate mixture and mix until well combined.
14. Assemble the cake. Line with parchment paper a 9 inch (23 cm) pan. You can use a springform pan or a cakeware pan like the one I have from Delicake.
15. Place the chocolate cake in the middle of the pan. Add half of the white chocolate mousse on top and fill the edges. Add the strawberry jelly in the middle on top of the mousse. Add the remaining half of white chocolate mousse and spread evenly.
16. Cover and place in the freezer overnight.
17. Prepare chocolate mirror glaze. In a small bowl place the gelatin and cold water and let swell for 5-10 minutes.Place the chocolate in a bowl and set aside.
18. Place water, sugar, condensed milk and cocoa powder in a saucepan. Bring it just to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in the bloomed gelatin until it is dissolved.
19. Pour the hot cocoa mixture over chocolate. Let sit for about 5 minutes until the chocolate is melted. Use an immersion blender and blend until smooth. Sieve the glaze and let it cool to 90-95F (32-35C) before pouring over the frozen cake.
20. Take the cake out of the freezer and use a hair dryer to defrost the edges. Remove the cake from the pan and place it over a rack or simply on a bowl placed over a parchment paper lined baking sheet to collect the excess.
21. Pour the glaze on top and edges of the cake. Use an offset spatula to remove the drips and decorate the bottom of the cake with grated chocolate. Transfer the cake to a serving platter and refrigerate for several hours to defrost the cake and set the glaze.

Perfection, don't know what else to say. Spectacular presentation. The intro is so dramatic. You keep wowing us every single time. Watching your videos is so relaxing. Just full of admiration for the decadent recipe and outstanding video production. You guys are simply super.

[@MillaCho44]

Mita Majumdar this is exactly what I wanna say!!

[@cbrm3067]

Well, just wanted to say thanks again. I can't believe that I actually managed to successfully make this with all the different elements. People were amnazed by the softness of the texture and amazingly despite the chocolate sponge,mousse and mirror glaze, the cake wasn't too sweet, just perfect. I feel so much more confident now, everything turned out perfectly. I'd just make sure the gelatin was right as I don't feel it was quite right for the glaze as it didn't hold as well as yours but even so, an absolute success. Thanks for sharing and please carry on the great work.

[@yasminefathi2655]

the presentation is beyond perfection. I'm getting addicted to this channel by time !

I love the fact that you give the grammes measurements ! it's so helpful 💗💗💗

[@btellez74]

Oh my goodness! I made this cake. It was AWESOME! Like, fancy restaurant awesome! It took me three times to make the white chocolate mousse. I guess I did not let it cool completely and it curdled, so the 3rd time was the charm and I just slowly whipped the cream into the white chocolate mixture. I made it for my husband's birthday and now my daughter requested it for hers. Really, really good cake. Thank you for sharing!

[@FaltuProductions]

I tried making this and it has come out looking just like yours! And its so delicious, my son is not willing to share with anyone! Long process but divine results!! Thank you so much. Wish I could share a picture.!

This chanel maide me think "Why am I poor?!" D: I always want try every recipe! :3

[@jamesultron854]

Tbh with you, it's not about money. You wanna master cooking you have to work with what you got and get creative. As a kid? you know how parents wouldn't trust their kids with cooking let alone provide them with the tools and ingredients, I always had to work with what I have, that's how I started cooking ever since I was a kid, I work with what I got and I still do it to this day. If I can get the ingredients and tools I do, but you'll find this way better because when you're short on schedule or don't have time to collect what you need or it's late at night....etc, working with what you got is always the best way. It's also working on your creativity as you do so and vice versa.

[@shaziai.430]

Tried this mirror glaze out yesterday for my sister's birthday cake and it came out amazing! Thank you so much!

[@ansarishaheen6690]

Hii U used same measurement of sugar for glaze The cake was so sweet or it was normal sweet

[@Anca.D26]

I like how you put 2 different measurements when you're showing the ingredients.. makes trying the recipes so much easier! Love your channel.. by the way are you Romanian?

[@just4usagejust4usage14]

I tried it yesterday, it was perfect! I used rectangular pan for decoration instead of circle, from inside was amazing, and the mirror effect is fabulous. The only hic i made is that I put more cream in step 3 than necessary, so white chocolate flavour almost vanished. My bad :( Besides that everything is perfect, cake, strawberry jelly, chocolate.. and the whole idea is great. Btw, its not complicated to do, just takes time to wait for steps to cool. Thanks a lot for the great work and help in all steps

[@talszula6839]

[@Troc832]

hmmm when I mix the chocolate with the whip cream after a few second of trying to whip it in, it flops and turns crumbly. What did you do at that point that I may have done wrong? choco temp let it cool that it was not cold but warm.

[@fzamellouk3162]

Hello, can we use raspberries instead of strawberries?
