Method
 

Prepare Sponge Cake
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your cake pan, prepare sponge cake batter, pour into pan, and bake for 25–30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely on a rack.
Make Mousse
  1. Whip 2 cups of cream in a bowl until medium peaks form. In a separate bowl, combine vanilla extract, sugar, and gelatin. Fold this mixture into whipped cream.
Assemble Layers
  1. Slice the cooled sponge cake into layers. In a mold or springform pan, layer sponge cake, mousse, and seasonal fruits alternately until all components are used, finishing with mousse.
Chill
  1. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. You'll know it's ready when the mousse feels firm.
Serve
