Cut the Sacher sponge sheets into 25x35cm rectangles and set one at the bottom of a steel frame
of the same size. Spread 220g of raspberry seeds jam on top and renew this step twice in order to
get an assembly of 4 chocolate sponge rectangles sandwiched with 3 layers of raspberry jam. Set
aside in the blast freezer for about 20 minutes, cut the cake slab into 10cm cubes and put back in
the freezer. Set steel mould cubes (ref.5710) on tray over silicon mat and set aside in the freezer.
Make the Essence of Guanaja lightened mousse and pour 280g per cube mould. Insert the sponge
and jam cubes in, pressing down a little to make the mousse reach to the top of the moulds and
blast freeze. Remove the cube moulds by warming the sides with a blow torch. Spray the cubes
with the extra fluid couverture and decorate with the chocolate decors. Valrhona - 26600 Tain l’Hermitage
