How to Make Strawberry Mousse Cake
Cake layer:
- Line the bottom of an 8-inch (20 cm) diameter springform cake pan with parchment paper.
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
- In a medium bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a mixer bowl whisk together the eggs with stevia until it’s fluffy (about 5-7 min), add the vanilla extract and combine.
- Add the oil and yogurt and mix until well combined.
- Sift the dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix carefully using a spatula until smooth.
- Bake the batter in the prepared springform for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake layer from the oven and allow to cool completely on a rack.
Strawberry mousse:
- In a small bowl combine the unflavored gelatine with 50 ml. water and let bloom for 5 min.
- Cut the strawberries into chunks and place in a large saucepan.
Blend them with the hand blender until smooth.
- On medium heat, bring the strawberry puree to a boil stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, add the bloomed gelatin and stir until melted. Set aside to cool.
- In a mixer bowl or another small bowl whisk the chilled cream with stevia until stiff peaks form.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the greek yogurt and evaporated milk using a hand whisk or mixer.
- Pour the strawberry puree (it should be slightly warm) to the bowl with greek yogurt and evaporated milk mixture. Whisk to combine.
- Add the whipped cream and gently mix together with a spatula. Be careful, do not over-mix!
- Assemble the cake. Place the cake layer into the bottom of the 8-inch diameter springform pan and line the sides with acetate or parchment paper (optional).
