Instructions
1. Prepare the Cake Layers:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line three 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Gradually add boiling water, stirring until fully combined.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely.
2. Make the Strawberry Filling:
- Beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in strawberry puree. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Chocolate Glaze:
- Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until simmering. Remove from heat and pour over chocolate chips. Let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
4. Assemble the Cake:
- Place the first cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a thick layer of strawberry filling and arrange sliced strawberries on top.
- Repeat with the second layer. Top with the final cake layer.
5. Decorate:
- Pour the chocolate glaze over the cake, letting it drip down the sides.
- Decorate with fresh strawberries and chocolate curls.
Tips for Perfection
- Use room-temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
- Chill the cake before slicing to ensure clean layers.
- For extra flavor, brush the cake layers with strawberry syrup before assembling.
