Strawberry mousse cake
Cake dough 8 inches Two or three tablets | Strawberry 500g |
Light cream 250ml | Gelatin tablets 3 tablets |
Milk 20g | Mold 8 inches |
White sugar 20g (according to your own taste) | Mirror part |
Purified water 150g | White sugar 10g |
Gelatin tablets 1 tablet |
Step 1
Soak the fresh strawberries in salt water, wash them, leave a small part of the strawberries cut into cubes to make the pulp, and crush the rest with a food processor.Step 2
Bake a chiffon cake.Step 3
Divide into two or three equal portions.Step 4
Of the two or three pieces of chiffon cake just divided, leave one piece as the base and one side larger than the other two pieces. The other divided cake slices should be smaller than the size of the bottom. So you need to cut off the edges of the cake slices. Leave one piece larger than the other two.Step 5
Soak 3 gelatine sheets in cold water to soften.Step 6
Beat the light cream until it reaches 60%, just a little bit. Mine is a bit old.Step 7
Soak soft gelatine sheets, pour away the cold water, add 20g of milk, heat over water until melted, or put it in the microwave.Step 8
After the milk and gelatine sheets are heated and melted, stir them evenly. Pour the strawberry puree into the heated and melted gelatine sheet liquid, and stir them together evenly.Step 9
Stir the gelatine slices and strawberry puree evenly, add 20 grams of sugar, pour into the whipped cream, and stir for a while. This mousse liquid part is finished.Step 10
Prepare a removable base cake mold and place a baking sheet or something flat under the mold. After making it, put it in the refrigerator. There is a bottom plate to hold the liquid so it won't spill out. (Mine is a 6-inch square, which feels about the same size as an 8-inch round one. But it was too full when made.)Step 11
Place the only uncut cake piece into the bottom of the mold, and spread a layer of the mousse you just made on top.Step 12
Then sprinkle some strawberry berries on top. Then spread a piece of cake dough, add a layer of mousse liquid, and sprinkle with fruit pieces. Repeat this step as many times as you have several cake slices. Whether it is two layers or three layers, you have to control the mousse yourself.Step 13
I divided the cake into three layers. A few more slices of strawberries were placed on top. (You don’t need to put strawberry dices on the top layer, you can just use strawberry slices to arrange them creatively.) Then cover the mold with plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator and refrigerate overnight until the mousse solidifies. ※(I refrigerated it for more than three hours and then took it out and poured it on the mirror. As a result, the mousse liquid got into the small gap between the strawberry fruit pieces and the mousse liquid, and the mousse liquid floated a little. So the top layer Instead of putting strawberry pieces, you can enlarge slices of strawberries to make shapes, then refrigerate them for nearly 4 hours and slowly pour in the mirror liquid, then refrigerate them overnight, which saves time).Step 14
For mirror use: Soak 1 piece of gelatine in cold water until soft, drain and set aside. Add 150 grams of purified water and 10 grams of sugar over water and heat until melted. Stir evenly. When the liquid cools down, put it into the mold and spread the mousse liquid on top. Chill overnight in the refrigerator. (Because my 6-inch mold is almost full. So there is half of the 150g left. Don’t waste the rest. You can put some coconut powder and keep it in the refrigerator overnight. It tastes very good).Step 15
Chill overnight in the refrigerator. When demoulding the next day, first use a hair dryer to blow the edge of the mold, or use a hot towel to repeatedly cover the surroundings of the live-bottom mold to facilitate demoulding.Step 16
When cutting, scald the knife with hot water to make the cuts neater.Step 17

You need to finish it as soon as possible. If you can’t finish it in one sitting, keep it in the refrigerator.Step 19
It's similar to what's sold outside. If you like it sweet, add more sugar. Strawberry mousse cake cooking tips
