Prepare the chocolate cake batter in a 9" x 9" square pan. Cool, then freeze for easier handling. Slice the cake in 4 inches wide strips using a tranche board
as a guide.
Slice these in two. Assemble onto tranche board to ease handling.
Mix together 1/2 of the Cherry Jam and 10 ounces of soft Buttercream. |
Remove top layers and brush the bottom with
1/2 of the syrup. Using a spatula fill with the cherry buttercream. Press on the top
(smooth) layer and brush with remaining syrup. |
Apply a thin coating of buttercream to hide the
crumbs. Chill both cakes for 1 hour or more until very firm. |
Carefully trim the ends of the cakes - squaring them up. Slice each of the cakes into eight 2" x 2" cubes. Chill if needed before next step. |
Holding the cake between your thumb and forefinger - rotate the cake and apply a thin covering of buttercream to the sides.
Press the sides into the chocolate sprinkles. Return to a clean tray and chill. |
With a small star tip and pastry bag apply a border
of buttercream along the four edges of each cake. Chill
to set buttercream. Fill the open areas with the remaining cherry jam. Chill until serving. |
