Prepare the Strawberry Jelly:

Prepare the Cream:
-
- Melt the white chocolate and add it to the mascarpone cheese and mix for a few seconds. Be careful not to overmix to prevent the cream from separating.
- Divide the cream into four portions.
- Assemble the Cake:
- Once the sponge cake has cooled, slice off the top and set it aside for later use.

- For soaking the cake, prepare a simple syrup using water, sugar, and vanilla essence.
- Place the first layer of cake on a plate, soak it with syrup, and spread a portion of cream.
- Add finely chopped strawberries and a layer of strawberry jelly.
- Continue assembling with the next layers of cake, cream, strawberries, and jelly, leaving some jelly for decoration at the end.
- Finish with the last layer of cake, soaking it on both sides.

Refrigerate:
-
- Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally, overnight.

- Hydrate the gelatin by mixing it with water, then melt it and add it to the cooled jelly.
- Whip 500g cream with 100g sugar until firm.
