Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
-
Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed until smooth and well blended, about 2 minutes.
-
Stir in the boiling water until the batter is well combined. The batter will be thin, but that's normal.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
While the cakes are cooling, prepare the chocolate ganache. In a heatproof bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of sliced strawberries over the top of the cake.
-
Pour half of the chocolate ganache over the strawberries, allowing it to drip down the sides.
-
Carefully place the second cake layer on top. Repeat the process by adding a layer of sliced strawberries and pouring the remaining ganache over the top.
-
Decorate the cake with fresh strawberries on top.
-
Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to allow the ganache to set before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
