Ingredients

For The Cake
1 vanilla cake [175 mm (7”)]
1/2 cup sugar syrup
a few drops of strawberry essence
2 cups white chocolate truffle
3/4 cup finely chopped strawberries
1 cake board

Finish The Cake
1/2 packet strawberry jelly
1/4 cup grated white chocolate
1 ohp sheet
pastry comb
turntable

Method

For the cake

Place the vanilla cake on a turntable and slice it horizontally into 3 equal parts. Keep aside.
Combine the sugar syrup and strawberry essence in a bowl to make the soaking syrup and keep aside.
Soak the bottom layer of the vanilla cake with 1/3 of the soaking syrup.
Spread ½ cup of white chocolate truffle on the soaked layer of the cake.
Put ½ the strawberries on top and sandwich with the second layer of the vanilla cake.
Repeat the steps 3-5 to make 1 more layer on top.
Soak the topmost layer of the vanilla cake with the remaining soaking syrup.
Spread the remaining white chocolate truffle evenly on top and at the sides of the cake.
Transfer the cake onto a cake board and refrigerate for 20 minutes to set.

Finish the cake

Place the cake on a turntable and run a pastry comb along the sides.
Make the strawberry jelly as per the instructions on the packet. Keep aside to cool. Take a ohp sheet and cut a rectangular strip of 75 mm. (3”) in width. Stick it along the sides of the cake gently.
Pour the strawberry jelly on top of the cake gradually taking care to see that it doesn’t run down the side.
Refrigerate to set. Remove the ohp sheet strip and discard it.
Put grated white chocolate slices along the circumference of the cake.
Stick strawberry slices along the sides. Cut into wedges and serve.
