- Slice the sponge horizontally into 3 slices, and cover temporarily with plastic wrap.
- Chop up the chocolate finely and put in a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave. Take it out of the microwave, mix it up, re-cover with plastic wrap and microwave again (see Helpful Hints).
- Mix until the chocolate is smooth.
- Add the cream, and mix until glossy. Add the rum.
- Spread the mixture out from Step 5 on a sheet of kitchen parchment paper to about a 5 mm thicknes Freeze for 30 minute
- Mix the apricot jam with boiling
- Spread the Step 7 mixture on the sponge layer
- Cut the cake out with a heart shaped mold or similar. Cut out the first layer with the apricot jam side down.
- Next, cut out the frozen ganache sheet using the same cutter with the cut sponge from the previous step still in it (I put an ice pack under the ganache sheet so that it wouldnt become soft).
- Cut out a sponge layer with the apricot jam side up, using the same cutter.
- Repeat Steps 9 → 10 → 11, and cut out all the cake
- It looks like this from the side.
- Make the glaçage (chocolate coating) next. Chop the chocolate up finely.
- Put the chopped chocolate and heavy cream in a small pan and mix over low heat. When the mixture is shiny, add the rum and mix it in. Take the pan off the heat.
- Since there are many cakes to coat, keep the glaçage in a bowl over a pan of hot water to prevent it from hardening. Use a large spoon to rapidly pour the chocolate over all 12 cake
- Top with silver dragées or other decoration. Chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate is set and theyre done. After the chocolate has set you can keep the cakes at room temperature.
- I rolled the leftover ganache into balls and coated them with cocoa powder to turn them into truffle
