Moist Chocolate Cake with Strawberries

Print Recipe

A rich and moist chocolate cake served with fresh macerated strawberries that enhances the chocolate flavor with a fresh, fruity contrast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 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
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for strawberries)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract; mix well.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
  5. Carefully stir in boiling water; batter will be thin.
  6. Pour batter evenly into prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
  8. Meanwhile, combine sliced strawberries with 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl and let macerate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
  9. Serve the cake layers with macerated strawberries on top or as a side accompaniment.

Notes

For extra moisture, brush cake layers with simple syrup before serving. Fresh strawberries enhance the flavor and add natural sweetness. Use high-quality cocoa powder for richer chocolate taste.
