300g fresh or frozen strawberries, cut into quarters

2 tbsp sugar

1/2 tbsp gelatin powder

2 tbsp cold water

Chocolate Cake

3/4 cup flour

1/4 cup cocoa powder

3/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 egg

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 tbsp oil

100ml buttermilk

100ml boiling water

White Chocolate Mousse

230g white chocolate, cut into small pieces

2/3 cup whipping cream

1 2/3 cup whipping cream, chilled

2 tsp gelatin powder

3 tbsp cold water

Chocolate Mirror Glaze

100g sweetened condensed milk

175g semisweet chocolate, cut into small pieces

3/4 cup sugar

100ml water

1 tbsp gelatin powder

1/4 cup cold water

3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

Method: Using Delicake Master

Prepare the strawberry jelly.

In a small bowl place the gelatin and cold water and let swell for 5-10 minutes.

Place the strawberries in a small saucepan with sugar and place over medium-low heat. Bring to a simmer, cook for 5 minutes and remove from heat. Blend the mixture to make a smooth sauce. Pass through a strainer to remove the seeds.

Dissolve gelatin over very low heat and mix with the strawberry puree.

Line a 8 inch (20 cm) round pan with plastic wrap.

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.

Prepare the chocolate cake. 

Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Grease and line with parchment paper a 8 inch (20 cm) round cake pan.

In a large bowl whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.

In another bowl mix sugar with egg and oil until combined. Mix in buttermilk and vanilla extract. Add flour mixture until well combined. Pour in hot water and mix to combine (the batter will have a runny consistency).

Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let cool completely.

Prepare the white chocolate mousse.

In a heat proof bowl add the white chocolate and 2/3 cup whipping cream. Place the bowl over a saucepan with simmering water, on a 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.

Whip the remaining 1 2/3 cup cold whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Add melted chocolate mixture and mix until well combined.

Assemble the cake.

Assemble base and sleeve of your Traditional Round Master.

Place the chocolate cake in the Master. 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.

Cover and place in the freezer overnight.

Prepare chocolate mirror glaze.

In a small bowl place the gelatin and 1/4 cup cold water and let swell for 5-10 minutes. Place the chocolate in a bowl and set aside.

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.

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.

Take the cake out of the freezer and use a hair dryer to defrost the edges. Remove the sleeve and place it over a rack or simply on a bowl placed over a parchment paper lined baking sheet to collect the excess.

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. Do not replace the sleeve and refrigerate for several hours to defrost the cake and set the glaze.

Before serving decorate the cake with fresh strawberries and white chocolate curls if desired.

To keep your creation fresh, re-assemble by replacing the sleeve and lid and pop it in the fridge.
