Instructions
- Bake two 9- or 11-inch sponge cakes. Carefully slice each sponge cake into two layers.
- 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.
- Into the two cups of cold heavy whipping cream, sift in powdered sugar and cocoa powder.
- 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.
- Apply chocolate cream to each cake layer and then sprinkle with sliced strawberries. Apply remaining cream on the outside of the cake.
- 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). Pour hot cream over chocolate chips, stirring everything together until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
- Place chocolate ganache in a Ziploc or piping bag. Drizzle ganache on the edges of the cake, letting it drip off the sides. Apply the chocolate ganache to the top of the cake and create a smooth layer with a knife or cake spatula. Refrigerate the cake for 15 minutes, or until ganache hardens.
- Dip strawberries into the remaining ganache and place them alongside the edge of the cake.
- Let cake set at least overnight and up to three days before serving.
