Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
  4. Stir in boiling water until the batter is smooth.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  8. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate, stirring until smooth.
  9. Once the cakes are cool, place one layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of sliced strawberries on top.
  10. Pour a portion of the chocolate ganache over the strawberries.
  11. Place the second cake layer on top and repeat the process with strawberries and ganache.
  12. Drizzle any remaining ganache over the top and garnish with additional strawberries.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate for the ganache.
  • Ensure the cakes are completely cool before frosting to prevent melting.
  • This cake can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
