Ingredients
Sponge Cake
- 2 Eggs
- 50g Sugar
- 50g Flour
- 1 tbsp Butter
Strawberry Mousse
- 200ml Whipping Cream
- 100g Strawberry Puree
- 60g Sugar
- 1½ tsp Gelito Halal Gelatin
- 3 tbsp Water
Strawberry Glaze
- 150ml Strawberry Juice
- 50g Sugar
- 1½ tsp Gelito Halal Gelatin
- 3 tbsp Water
Step 1: Prepare the Sponge Cake
Start by preheating your oven to 180°C.
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes light, fluffy and pale in color. This process incorporates air into the batter and helps create a soft sponge texture.
Gently fold in the flour using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix, as this can remove the air from the batter. Add melted butter and mix until combined.
Pour the batter into a lined baking tray and bake for approximately 10–12 minutes or until lightly golden.
Allow the sponge to cool completely before cutting round pieces using a cake cutter or ring mold. These sponge rounds will form the base of your mini cakes.
Step 2: Prepare the Strawberry Mousse
The mousse layer is what gives this cake its creamy and luxurious texture.
Begin by blooming Gelito 100% Halal Gelatin. Add the gelatin to 3 tablespoons of water and allow it to sit for about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the strawberry puree and sugar in a saucepan. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves completely.
Once the gelatin has absorbed the water and become soft, add it to the warm strawberry mixture. Stir continuously until fully dissolved.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Gradually fold the cooled strawberry mixture into the whipped cream. Mix gently until smooth and evenly combined.
You now have a light and flavorful strawberry mousse.
Step 3: Assemble the Cake
Place a sponge cake round into the bottom of a ring mold.
Pour the prepared strawberry mousse over the sponge layer, filling the mold almost to the top.
Smooth the surface using a spatula.
Transfer the cakes to the freezer for approximately 3 hours or until completely firm. Freezing helps the mousse set properly and creates a smooth surface for the glaze.
This step is essential because it ensures the cake maintains its shape when the glaze is added.
Step 4: Prepare the Strawberry Glaze
The glossy strawberry glaze is the highlight of this dessert.
Bloom another 1½ teaspoons of Gelito Halal Gelatin in 3 tablespoons of water for 5 minutes.
In a saucepan, combine strawberry juice and sugar. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves.
Add the bloomed gelatin and stir until completely melted.
Allow the glaze to cool slightly. It should remain pourable but not hot.
Using Premium Halal Gelatin helps create a smooth, shiny finish that looks professional and attractive.
Step 5: Glaze the Cake
Remove the frozen cakes from the freezer.
Carefully pour the strawberry glaze over each cake, allowing it to spread evenly across the surface.
The glaze should create a smooth mirror-like finish.
Place the cakes in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes so the glaze can fully set.
Once chilled, carefully remove the ring molds.
Decorate with fresh strawberries, berries, or chocolate decorations if desired.
