A moist and decadent chocolate cake elegantly layered with fresh strawberries and whipped cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl: sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Mix in the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, beating with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes until combined.
  4. Prepare the batter by carefully stirring in the boiling water; a thin batter is perfect for a moist texture.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool the cakes in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Frost the top of one cake layer with whipped cream, add sliced strawberries, then top with the second layer and repeat. Cover the entire cake with whipped cream and finish with more strawberries.

Notes

For best results, let eggs and milk reach room temperature before mixing. Replace half the flour with almond flour for a nutty twist, or experiment with different fruits.
