Instructions

 

• First prepare the chocolate strawberry cake. Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Grease with butter a 8 inch (20cm) pan and line with parchment paper.
• Melt chocolate and butter over bain-marie until smooth. Let cool slightly to room temperature.
• Meanwhile beat the eggs with sugar and vanilla extract using a whisk or mixer until thick and light yellow colored.
• Add melted chocolate and mix until well combined.
• Using a spatula fold in sifted flour and salt.  Pour mixture into the prepared pan.
• Arrange fresh strawberry quarters over the top of the cake.
• Bake for about 25 minutes until set. Run a sharp knife completely around the inside edge of the pan and let cool completely.
• Meanwhile prepare the strawberry sauce. Place strawberries, sugar and lemon juice in a small saucepan and place over medium heat, bring to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes until thickens. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• Dissolve gelatin in cold water and let it swell for about 5 to 10 minutes. Dissolve over low heat and pour over strawberry sauce. Mix to combine.
• Prepare the strawberry cream cheese mousse. In a large bowl mix cream cheese with powdered sugar. Add strawberry mixture and mix to combine.
• In another bowl whip the chilled whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold into cream cheese and strawberry mixture.
• Line an acetate sheet around the cake and pour the mousse over the cake. Smooth the top.
• Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours or overnight.
• Remove the cake from the pan and place on a serving platter. Decorate the cake with fresh strawberry halves and chocolate swirls. Enjoy!
