- Add jimmies to decorate if desired.
- When cool remove sides of springform, cool completely and chill cake.
- When cold slice cake in half horizontally, being carefully not to disturb top
- Either spread bottom layer with seedless raspberry jam or apricot jam.
- Place on top half of cake carefully
- Make a favorite chocolate ganache or chocolate frosting and smooth around sides of cake and seal any separations.
