Description

A delightful cake that combines rich chocolate layers with fresh strawberry filling, topped with a glossy chocolate shell. Perfect for celebrations and family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, pureed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla into the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, then stir in the boiling water.
  4. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  5. Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold in the pureed strawberries.
  6. Layer one cake on a serving plate, spread a layer of strawberry filling on top, and place the second layer on top.
  7. Melt the chopped chocolate and butter together until smooth.
  8. Pour the melted chocolate over the assembled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
  9. Chill the cake until the chocolate shell is set. Slice and enjoy!
