  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • For the cake, cream the butter with the sugar, add the condensed milk, vanilla, salt, egg, evaporated milk, and the dry ingredients. Beat until fully combined.
  • Pour the mixture into a previously greased and floured 15 cm diameter cake pan. Bake for about 35 minutes. Unmold and set aside.
  • For the gelatin, heat the jam with the lemon juice without letting it boil. Add the hydrated gelatin and cook until completely dissolved. Pour into a 15 cm diameter mold and refrigerate until set.
  • For the chocolate mousse, in a bowl, beat the warm cream with the chocolate until combined. Cool slightly and gently mix with the semi-whipped cream. Set aside.
  • For the ganache, in a bowl over a double boiler, melt all the ingredients and mix until integrated. Cool slightly.
  • For assembling, in an 18 cm ring, place the cake disk, add half of the chocolate mousse, and refrigerate until set. Remove from the refrigerator and place the gelatin disk on top, fill with the remaining mousse mixture, and freeze until completely set. Cover with the chocolate ganache and decorate with the red fruits, flowers, and chocolate decoration. Let it dry and cut.
