Bake the chocolate cake layer at 340°F (170°C) for 40 minutes.
After it cools down, cut it lengthwise into 2 or 3 thinner cake layers.
The strawberry jam is placed in a saucepan on the stove with 1-2 tbsp. of water and it is boiled for 3-5 minutes.
The cake layers are generously spread inside, on top and on the sides. Place the cake in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
