Ingredients

For the sponge cake (Genoise base):

  • Prepared genoise sponge cake (homemade or store-bought)

  • Cake mold or ring mold

For the soaking syrup:

  • 100 g sugar

  • 100 ml water

For the mousse filling:

  • Chocolate mousse or preferred mousse filling

For the mirror glaze:

  • Mirror glaze mixture (prepared as shown in the video)

  • Food coloring (for marble effect)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the soaking syrup

In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let cool.

Brush the genoise sponge evenly with the syrup to keep it moist.

2. Assemble the cake base

Place the genoise sponge inside a cake ring or mold. Trim the edges if needed to fit perfectly.

Press gently to ensure a flat and even base.

3. Add the mousse filling

Pour the mousse filling over the sponge base. Smooth the surface carefully using a spatula.

Tap the mold lightly to remove air bubbles and ensure an even layer.

4. Freeze the cake

Place the assembled cake in the freezer until fully set. This step is essential for a perfect mirror glaze finish.

5. Prepare the marble mirror glaze

Warm the mirror glaze gently until it reaches the correct pouring temperature.

Divide the glaze into portions and color them as desired. Combine lightly to create a marble effect.

6. Glaze the cake

Remove the frozen cake from the mold and place it on a rack.

Pour the mirror glaze over the cake in one smooth motion, allowing it to flow naturally over the sides.

Avoid touching the glaze to keep the surface shiny and smooth.

7. Final decoration

Decorate the cake with chocolate details or floral designs, as shown in the video.

This step is fully customizable depending on your style and occasion.

Tips for Perfect Mirror Glaze

  • The cake must be fully frozen before glazing

  • Pour glaze at the correct temperature

  • Do not overmix colors for a clean marble look

  • Let excess glaze drip naturally
