• Strawberry Mousse cake is a soft, melt in mouth romantic cake which is served chilled and can be enjoyed during any occasion or any kind of get-together.
•  
• I have made total 3 layers, if you want you can skip the white chocolate layer.
• 
  
• It's very simple to make, you just have to keep few things in mind
• 
  
• First, make sure whenever you add gelatin dissolve it properly in pan or using microwave before adding or cake will not set nicely.
• 
  
• Secondly whenever you add whip cream in white chocolate or strawberry compote, it should be at room temperature and not hot else cream will get spoiled. 
• 
  
• I prefer making strawberry compote in bulk and like to preserve it for future use.
