Chef’s tips

• Mix the cake batter well, making sure no flour pockets are left. 
• Prefer using Belgian/couverture chocolate for best results. However, if needed, you may use dark compound chocolate as well. 
• You can store Blueberry jam in a glass jar in the refrigerator for future use.
• To check the jam’s consistency, use a spoon and cover the back of the spoon with the jam. If the jam sticks to the spoons, then it’s done.
