Strawberry Jelly Cake

I hope this Strawberry Jelly Cake will be my comeback video recipe on the channel after a "too long" break. So, I came back with this delicious and fresh Strawberry Jelly Cake with mascarpone and ruby chocolate filling. It is a perfect cake for hot days!

Ingredients:

[Sponge cake]
2 eggs
a pinch of salt
60g sugar
45g flour
15g cocoa powder
half teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

[Mascarpone filling]
250g mascarpone cheese
2 teaspoons confectionery sugar
100g melted Ruby (pink) chocolate or white chocolate

[Strawberry Jelly]
200g fresh strawberries (sliced)
200ml strawberry juice
6g gelatine sheets
2 tablespoons lemon juice

[Sugar syrup]
100ml water
50g sugar

Instructions:

1. For the sponge cake, whisk the eggs with salt and sugar in a large bowl until it triples its volume. Then sift the flour with cocoa powder and combine gently.

2. Bake the sponge cake in the preheated oven at 175°C for about 20 minutes. Use a toothpick to check if the sponge cake is done. Then let it cool down completely.

3. In the meantime, in a small saucepan, add the water and sugar for the sugar syrup and boil until the sugar completely dissolves. Then pour it over the sponge cake. Alternatively, you can replace the sugar syrup with strawberry juice!

4. In a bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese with confectionery sugar, then melt the ruby chocolate (you can also use white chocolate; I choose pink chocolate for its slightly sour-sweet taste). Pay attention that white and pink chocolate reaches the melting temperature sooner than dark or milk chocolate, so be mindful of it!

5. Pour the melted chocolate over the mascarpone cheese and combine. Then spread it over the sponge cake and place it in the fridge.

6. Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for 10 minutes.

7. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, pour the strawberry juice for the strawberry jelly (you can also use the same amount of water, plus two tablespoons of sugar and some red food coloring) and add some lemon juice. Warm it up slightly. Wring out the water from the gelatin sheets and add them to the warm (not hot) juice. Stir until they completely dissolve.

8. Slice the fresh strawberries and place them over the cake, then pour the jelly juice. Place it in the fridge for at least 3 hours.

Enjoy!
