– chocolate sponge cakes – strawberry jam – strawberries – heavy whipping cream cocoa powder powdered sugar semi-sweet chocolate chips

INGREDIENTS

Bake two 9- or 11-inch sponge cakes. Carefully slice each sponge cake into two layers.

STEP 1

Generously spread strawberry jam onto the tops of each layer, ensuring your reserve one of the cake bottoms for the smooth top layer of your cake.

STEP 2

Into the two cups of cold heavy whipping cream, sift in powdered sugar and cocoa powder.

STEP 3

Beat on high-speed, until the cream mixture doubles in volume. Make sure not to over beat, otherwise cream will become runny and difficult to spread.

STEP 4

Apply chocolate cream to each cake layer and then sprinkle with sliced strawberries. Apply remaining cream on the outside of the cake.

STEP 5

Place chocolate chips in a bowl. In a sauce pan over medium-heat, bring remaining cream to a simmer (do not let it reach a boil).

STEP 6

Place chocolate ganache in a Ziploc or piping bag. Drizzle ganache on the edges of the cake, letting it drip off the sides.
