Amazing how easy it is to come up with a name for a dessert having drunk 2 cucumber martinis and some red wine, the wine in the glass right now is beautiful Amarone.
I made this dessert/cake in preparation for the weekend, Jedrus was to come and Wuj Mariusz. Jedrus is here, Mariusz sadly down with some nasty bacteria at home, taking antibiotics and not even thinking about alcohol.
The base of the cake is my regular sponge, spiked with red food colourant. Pink sponge looks cool and appetizing!
On the sponge there’s a layer of fresh strawberry mousse mixed with setting strawberry jelly. The top layer- whipped cream with about a half of lemon jelly. And to finish, just a sprinkle of grated dark and white chocolate. The whole thing is light, fruity and moreish. Yum.
