Mini Strawberry Cocoa Mousse Cake For Valentine's Day

I made this for a cocoa company recipe contest.
The leftover sponge cake can be frozen for later use.
There will also be a bit of mousse left over, so chill it and eat it later.

If you're bothered by the strawberry seeds, put the mixture through a strainer.

Some jams are sweeter than others, so taste and adjust the amount to your liking.

For your reference: I microwaved the chocolate in Step 10 for 1.5 minutes at 500w, then stirred it and microwaved it for 30 seconds more. This recipe yields one 9 cm round cake. Recipe by *Anna*.

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare a sheet of sponge cake. You can also use a store-bought one as well. Slice the cake so that it's 1 cm thick. I use this recipe: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/en/recipes/146484-foolproof-fluffy-genoise-sponge-cake

  2. 2

    Cut out the cake with a ring mold.

  3. 3

    Put the ring mold on a plate and place a 5cm diameter piece of parchment paper or plastic mousse film on the bottom, to fit the mold.

  4. 4

    Put the round of cut cake inside the ring.

  5. 5

    Whip the cream until soft peaks form.

  6. 6

    Heat the milk in the microwave (500 W) for 30 seconds, add the cocoa powder and mix well. Put it in a blender together with the strawberry jam and blend well.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle the powdered gelatin in the water and heat in the microwave (500 W) to dissolve. Add the dissolved gelatin to the mixture made in Step 6 and blend again.

  8. 8

    Add the mixture in Step 7 to the whipped cream, and mix with a spatula until smooth.

  9. 9

    Pour the mixture in Step 8 into the cake-lined mold, nearly to the top. Hit the mold a few more times on the counter top to remove air bubbles and smooth the surface. Chill in the refrigerator until set.

  10. 10

    Melt the chocolate in the microwave. Add the heavy cream and mix until smooth.

  11. 11

    Pour the chocolate mixture on top of the set mousse. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.

  12. 12

    Sift some cocoa on top and take off the metal ring and the parchment paper.

  13. 13

    Decorate the top as you'd like.
