2 cups mixed fresh berries such as strawberries, blackberries and blueberries, sliced
Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Spray inside of 9-inch round springform cake pan with
nonstick cooking spray and line sides with aluminum foil or plastic wrap.
In medium bowl, whisk together Nutella and 1/4 cup water
until smooth, creating rich Nutella syrup. Set aside.
Cut 15 width-wise slices (1/2-inch each) of pound cake
with serrated knife and use 10 slices to line pan's inside edge, pressing
sides to form overlapping pattern. Place remaining 5 slices on bottom to fill
pan's base, cutting pieces as necessary to fill holes. Drizzle cake bottom
with 1/4 cup Nutella mixture.
In large bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Add sour cream and 1/2 cup Nutella mixture and continue to beat until mixture
once again holds soft peaks.
Meanwhile, in small microwavable dish, place 2 tablespoons
water and sprinkle with gelatine. Let stand for 1 minute. Microwave on HIGH
for 20 to 30 seconds to soften gelatin. Stir until gelatine completely melts.
Whisk melted gelatine into Nutella-cream mixture until
completely blended to create mousse-like texture.
Layer bottom of cake with 1 cup mixed berries. Spread
mousse over berries.
Remove cake from pan and place on serving dish. Drizzle
with remaining Nutella syrup. Make decorative pattern on cake with remaining
1 cup berries.
Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
Serving ideas: Using remaining 1 cup of berries, lay strawberries in concentric-circle
pattern with pointed end of each strawberry facing outward. Fill center with remaining
berries. Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.
