Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally for about 15 minutes, until the sauce thickens. 2. Remove from heat and sieve to remove seeds. 3. While the sauce is preparing prepare the gelatin. Dissolve gelatin in cold water and let it swell for about 5-10 minutes. 4. Place gelatin over low heat just until the gelatin dissolves and then pour it over sieved berry sauce. Let the berry sauce cool at room temperature while you prepare the rest. 5. Line with parchment paper a 8 inch (20 cm) round springform pan. 6. Line the edges and bottom of the pan with ladyfingers. Where necessary cut the ladyfingers to fill the gaps. 7. Prepare chocolate and berry mousse fillings. Place chocolate and cream in a heatproof bowl over a pan with simmering water. Melt over low heat. 8. Prepare the gelatin. Dissolve gelatin in cold water and let it swell for about 5-10 minutes. 9. Place gelatin over low heat just until the gelatin dissolves and then pour it over melted chocolate. 10. In a large mixing bowl mix mascarpone with powdered sugar until combined. In another bowl whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gradually incorporate whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture. 11. Divide mixture in two. 12. Mix half of the mascarpone mixture with melted chocolate and pour it over the bottom of the pan. Add fresh raspberries or mixed berries on top. Refrigerate for about 15-30 minutes. 13.

Hi Ella, I tried you recipe yesterday, It was a big hit. I don't know what happened but the cream/ mascarpone mix was way too much and it reached the very top of the ladies fingers, not complaining but i would really like to know how did I end up with such big quantity. Another thing and please no one judge me for this, I am not a chocolate lover I don't like it I don't eat it except rarely. Can I replace the semi sweet chocolate with white chocolate? Is there any changes I need to do in terms of the gelatin for example because I know that white chocolate is not a real chocolate anyway. I would truly appreciate your answer. Thank you for the wonderful recipes. Keep it up

In Austria, where I live, we call something else a Charlotte cake. For our version, you cut a roulade (similar to a swiss roll, I guess, that is filled with marmelade, in pieces, like how you would serve it, but thinner. Then we lay those into a large bowl, so the sides of the bowl and its bottom are covered, fill the bowl with some sort of mascrapone cream and fruits, and then cover the open side of the bowl, so the top, with the rest of the roulade. Once it has chilled in the fridge, you flip the bowl over and decorate the cake with fruit and stuff. That's my favorite cake, I love it with cherries Maybe you would like to try it, it's delicious

I did it it was nice but the lady finger was little bit hard it's better to soak them and the chocolate flavor was very strong it's better to use 40% cocoa and for the Perry mouse was very nice

Hello Ella, this cake looks amazing, but what is letting the gelatin swell mean and why do you do it? Sorry if it's a dumb question, I'm still learning how to cook and bake: -)

I absolutely love that you are one of the very few bakers that still post the ingredients in the description box (that too in both metric and imperial systems)

The lady fingers, are you using the soft cake ones I can buy at Safeway? or the hard Italian ones I have to go to specialty store?
