Today I am going to teach you how to prepare a chocolate cake with strawberry jam, this recipe is similar to the Sacher cake, but replacing the apricot jam with strawberry, as it is a fruit that combines perfectly with chocolate.

In case you want to make this recipe 100% homemade, you can make the jam yourself, which if you did not know, is a very simple preparation.

I made this cake in using a round baking pan of 23 cm. (9 inches) diameter and I highly recommend to cover the pan with baking paper so that it does not get stuck and thus avoid any unpleasant surprises.
