•  Allow the cakes to cool in the tins for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely (about 30 minutes).

Assembly & Finishing

•  Slice the Sponge: Once fully cooled, slice the cake horizontally into four layers.
•  Base Layer: Place the first layer on a cake board or plate. Spread a thin layer of strawberry coulis on top.
•  Middle Layer: Add the second sponge layer, then spread chocolate ganache evenly.
•  Top Layer: Place the third sponge layer. Spread another thin layer of strawberry coulis on top.
•  Pipe Ganache: Optionally, pipe remaining Espresso ganache decoratively on top or around the sides.
 • Coat with White Chocolate: Pour or spread the white chocolate coating over the top and sides of the cake. Smooth with a spatula for an even finish..
