Steps

  • Grease and line a 33x23cm Swiss roll tin with parchment and a silicone sheet.
  • Cream butter and icing sugar, beat in egg whites, then fold in flour and cocoa.
  • Spread paste on the silicone mat, create a pinstripe pattern with a comb, and freeze for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C.
  • Whisk egg whites with caster sugar to create a glossy meringue.
  • Whisk almonds, icing sugar, and whole eggs for 5 minutes before folding in flour, meringue, and melted butter.
  • Place the frozen decorative paste into the lined tin.
  • Spread the joconde mixture over the paste and bake for 5-7 minutes.
  • Turn the cake onto parchment, peel off the mat, and cool.
  • Line 6 chefs' rings with parchment and create a 17x5cm paper template.
  • Cut sponge strips using the template and press them into the rings with the stripes facing out.
  • Cut 4cm circles from cake trimmings and place them in the base of the rings.
  • Melt dark chocolate over a pan of simmering water.
  • Stir in butter, egg yolks, and brandy.
  • Whisk egg whites to stiff peaks and fold into the dark chocolate.
  • Whip cream to soft peaks and fold into the dark chocolate mixture.
  • Pipe dark mousse into the rings until three-quarters full and freeze briefly.
  • Gently melt the white chocolate over simmering water.
  • Whisk an egg white to stiff peaks and fold into the white chocolate.
  • Whip cream to soft peaks and fold into the white chocolate mixture.
  • Pipe white mousse to the top of the rings and chill in the fridge until set.
  • Remove from rings, top with berries, and dust with icing sugar.
