CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY TRIFLE

Steps:

• For the chocolate cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grease 2 9-inch round cake pans and line the bases with parchment paper. Set the prepared pans aside.
• Combine the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Add the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla and whisk together. Add the boiling water to the bowl and whisk to incorporate well. Divide the batter equally between the 2 prepared pans.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, and then turn the cake out onto a wire rack. Remove the parchment from both layers. Turn one of the cakes right side up to be the top layer. Allow the cakes to cool completely, about 1 hour. Once cool, place the first cake layer, with the bottom of the cake facing up, on a cooling rack set over a baking pan or on a cake plate and spread the jam on top of the cake, leaving a 1/2-inch border of cake. Top the jam with the second cake layer, that has been turned right side up. Pour the ganache over the cake, if using.
• For trifle toppings: Put the strawberries in a small bowl and sprinkle with sugar to the desired sweetness. Set the bowl aside. In another bowl, add the cream and softly whip with a hand whisk or electric mixer, and set aside until needed.
• In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until little bubbles appear around the edges. Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the chocolate. Shake the pan to submerge the chocolate and leave it to melt for a couple of minutes. Stir gently to mix the chocolate to a smooth cream. Set the mixture aside for 20 to 30 minutes to thicken to a spreadable consistency. Stir through a few times as it's cooking over low heat to keep the ganache smooth.
• Pour the thickened ganache in a wide ribbon around the circumference of the cake and with a spatula gently push the ganache over the edges. It should fall in thick waves. Fill in the middle with more ganache and swirl the ganache into luscious billows.

STRAWBERRY-MASCARPONE TRIFLE RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Directions: In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and 2 Tbs. of the sugar and toss to mix. In another bowl, combine the cream and 4 Tbs. of the sugar. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat until stiff peaks form, then beat in the mascarpone cheese and vanilla until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Preheat an oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper. In a heatproof bowl set over but not touching gently simmering water in a saucepan, whisk together the eggs, yolks and the remaining 1/2 cup sugar until pale yellow and fluffy, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer the mixture to the bowl of an electric mixer and beat on medium speed until light and ribbony, 4 to 5 minutes. Sift the flour into the egg mixture in three additions, folding with a rubber spatula after each addition until smooth. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread the batter to the edges, making the sides higher than the center. Bake until the top of the cake is golden and springs back when touched, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the cake cool to room temperature. Using a small paring knife, cut around the inside edge of the pan to loosen and remove the cake. Using a serrated knife, trim the sides, shaping the cake into a 7-inch round to fit a large trifle bowl. Slice the cake in half horizontally. Fit a pastry bag with a wide decorative tip and fill the bag with the mascarpone cream. Brush each layer of the cake with 1 oz. of the rum. Assemble the trifle, alternating layers of sliced strawberries, mascarpone cream and cake. Garnish with the mascarpone cream and whole strawberries. Serves 8 to 10.

STRAWBERRY MASCARPONE TRIFLE

Steps:

• Hull and slice strawberries into quarter-inch thick slices. Mix with 2 tablespoons of sugar and let stand while you prepare the cream mixture.
• Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Add mascarpone cheese, remaining sugar, and vanilla, and mix well to blend ingredients.
• In a clear bowl with steep sides or a trifle dish, place ladyfingers on bottom and brush with rum. Add a layer of sliced strawberries. Follow with a layer of mascarpone/whipped cream mixture. Repeat with ladyfingers, rum, strawberries, and cream mixture until you reach the top of the dish, reserving about 3/4 cup of strawberries for the garnish. The top layer should be the cream mixture, and can be piped on with a pastry bag or spread smooth with a knife or spatula.
• Arrange strawberry slices on top of the cream mixture in concentric circles, from the outside of the dish in, leaving a 2-3 inch border of mascarpone mixture around the edge, to create a flower design. Works best if you use the largest slices on the outer rings and smaller slices as you move towards the center of the dish. Finish by standing 4 small strawberry slices in the center like the center of a rose petal.
